Girl Cat Names That Start With S

Sushi
- Description:
  Sushi is a playful and unconventional female name derived from the popular Japanese dish consisting of vinegared rice combined with various ingredients. As a personal name, Sushi represents a modern trend of food-inspired naming that breaks traditional conventions. While extremely rare as a given name, parents who choose Sushi for their daughter likely appreciate its distinctive sound, cultural association with Japanese cuisine, and the light-hearted, unique quality it carries. The name might appeal to culinary enthusiasts, those with Japanese cultural connections, or parents seeking a truly distinctive name that stands out. Despite its novelty, Sushi has a surprisingly melodic sound with its gentle 'sh' consonant blend and ending vowel sound.
Sharpay
- Origin:
  Popular culture
- Meaning:
  "sand skin"
- Description:
  The name of the glamorous mean girl in "High School Musical", Sharpay is a spin on the dog breed Shar Pei, which means "sand skin" in Chinese. As such, it's a brilliant name joke skewering the practice of picking a name for its sound without considering what it means.

Sesame
- Origin:
  Food name and word name
- Description:
  Poppy is the most widely-used seed name, opening the door for Sesame. While Sesame has a pretty sound, it is not often used as a name -- fewer than five baby girls were given the name in the US in 2021. In kids' minds, this might be overly associated with Sesame Street.
Santa
- Origin:
  Feminine variation of Santo, Italian
- Meaning:
  "saint"
- Description:
  Santa has an appealing sound, or maybe that's sleigh bells we hear? It's difficult to separate the Italian girls' name Santa from the association to Mr. Claus, king of Christmas. The German diminutive Senta -- or Snow or even Christmas -- might be an easier name to handle.
Sugar
- Origin:
  Word name
- Description:
  You can call your daughter Sugar, but it's probably best to keep it as a term of endearment. For sweet names, you try Dulcie, Honey, Mitsu, Amai, Sherine, Melita, Eulalia, or Melina, but Sugar does work as a generic nickname.

Snickers
- Description:
  Snickers is a playful and whimsical female name derived from the popular chocolate candy bar introduced in the 1930s. While unconventional as a human name, it has gained some popularity as a pet name, particularly for cats and dogs with brown coloring or playful personalities. The name evokes feelings of sweetness, fun, and satisfaction. As a human name, Snickers would be considered highly unique and might be used by parents looking for something truly distinctive or perhaps as a nickname for someone with a sweet personality or infectious laugh. The name carries connotations of joy and lightheartedness.
Sakae
- Origin:
  Japanese
- Meaning:
  "prosperity"
- Description:
  Unisex Japanese name used by the singer Thalia as her daughter Sabrina's middle.
Shanti
- Origin:
  Hindi
- Meaning:
  "peace"
- Description:
  This Hindi word which is used in prayer is one of the prime names that mean peace, always a nice message to impart to a child. Nick Nolte used it for his daughter.

Smokey
- Origin:
  English word name
- Description:
  Popular choice for silvery pets.
Snowdrop
- Description:
  Snowdrop is a delicate nature-inspired feminine name derived from the early-blooming white flower that often emerges while snow still covers the ground. This botanical name symbolizes hope, purity, and resilience as snowdrops are among the first flowers to bloom at winter's end. Though uncommon as a given name, Snowdrop belongs to the category of modern flower and nature names that have gained popularity in recent decades. The name carries a whimsical, ethereal quality that appeals to parents drawn to nature-themed names. Snowdrop combines the purity associations of snow with the gentle beauty of a small flower, creating a name that's both distinctive and meaningful.
