And whether you are an avid traveler who wishes to give your cat an extraordinary name to honor your travels, or simply give your kitty a name that sounds just as beautiful as she is — an Italian name is never a bad choice.
In this post, we bring you a long list of over a thousand popular and cute Italian cat names for both male and female kittens.
Famous Italian Cat Names and What They Mean
Here are the top five Italian cat names that are not only famous but also sound cute. Which one do you like?
Romeo
This name’s popularity can be credited to the 1970 Disney cartoon The Aristocats. In the Italian version, the alley cat that Duchessa meets halfway through the movie is named Romeo.
Luna
Luna is a beautiful word for moon in Italian. This name is popular in cats, because like the moon, cats are mysterious, lovely, and nocturnal.
Leo
What comes to mind when you hear the name — Leo? A lion, of course. And what better namesake for a courageous, independent tomcat than his fierce feline relative?
Chicca/Chicco
Chicco in Italian means bean or grain, while the feminine Chicca means tidbit or rarity. Both sound catchy and cute, what do you think?
Micio/Micia
Another cute pair of Italian names for male and female cats. Micio and Micia are sweet-sounding synonyms for gatto (male cat) and gatta (female cat), kind of like the term of endearment — kitty in the English language.
