Egyptian cat names are a terrific option – cats are synonymous with ancient egypt and feature quite prominently in art and writing going back thousands of years.
The good news is that I have done some of the hard work for you and have reduced the number of potential Egyptian cat names down based on some sound criteria about what can make for a good cat name.
I’ll take you through some things to think about to help you decide which of those names is the best one for your new kitty.
Cats were also prized by the Egyptians as hunters. They were great at getting rid of mice and other vermin that roamed the homes of ancient egyptians.
Tivali was Cleopatra‘s favourite cat. Short and sharp and perfect for a beloved cat. Could use for male or female.
My thought here is to shorten Cleopatra which is more of a mouthful but to give a nod to all things Egyptian.
Or even King Tut. Tutankhamun is a great name but not one you want to be saying regularly. This short and sharp version is more fun and manageable.
Obviously this works best with a black cat :-). Unless you think you could find this funny for your white cat for 15 + years.
