Cat Names That Start With J

  1. Jojo
    • Description:

      Jojo is a playful, gender-neutral name often used as a masculine name in its own right or as a nickname for names like Joseph, Jonathan, Jordan, or Johannes. Its repetitive structure gives it a bouncy, cheerful quality that resonates across cultures. The name gained significant visibility through pop culture, including the manga/anime series 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure' and various musicians and celebrities. With its approachable two-syllable pattern, Jojo conveys a youthful energy and friendly personality. Though relatively uncommon as a legal first name in most Western countries, it has gained traction in recent decades as parents increasingly choose names with an informal, affectionate quality. Its cross-cultural appeal makes it recognizable in many regions worldwide.

  2. Jonael
    • Origin:

      Hispanic
    • Description:

      This is another example of a name propelled into usage by a celebrity. Prior to 2015, Jonael had only been given to more than 4 boys in a given year once; that year was 2004, when 6 boys in the US received the name. However, in 2015, Jonael Santiago won La Voz Kids, Telemundo's Spanish children's version of popular reality competition show The Voice. As a result, this name immediately entered the US Top 1000 at Number 919. We'll see if it continues to rise, or if this is just its fifteen minutes of fame.
  3. Jory
    • Description:

      Jory as a feminine name is an intriguing choice with several possible origins. It may be a feminine adaptation of the masculine Jory, which itself can be a variant of George (meaning "farmer"), a form of the Hebrew name Yore ("he will teach"), or a short form of names like Marjorie. When used for girls, Jory has a modern, androgynous quality with its short, punchy sound. The name's simplicity makes it easy to spell and pronounce while remaining distinctive. Though uncommon for either gender, it has seen occasional use throughout the English-speaking world. Jory carries an independent, spirited quality that parents seeking an unconventional yet accessible name might find appealing. Its brevity allows it to pair well with longer surnames and middle names.
