Harry Potter Cat Names
- Pius
Origin:
LatinMeaning:
"pious"Description:
Pius is the very definition of a religious name, used appropriately enough for several popes. Only a handful of baby boys receive this name every year.
- Snowy
Origin:
English word nameMeaning:
"snowy"Description:
Snowy has only ever appeared on the charts twice: in 2013, when it was given to 6 baby girls, and in 2016, when it was used for five. With recent celeb choices such as Stormi and Thunder, could Snowy be next on parents' lists?
- Rosmerta
Origin:
RomanMeaning:
"the great provider"Description:
Rosmerta is a Gallo-Roman goddess of fertility, abundance, and prosperity, often depicted holding a cornucopia. In the Harry Potter books, Madame Rosmerta is the landlady of the Three Broomsticks pub in the wizarding village of Hogsmeade.
- Hepzibah
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"my delight is in her"Description:
This is a streamlined spelling of the biblical Hephzibah. Hephzibah is an Old Testament name that came into use in the 17th century, but is not often used today. It does have less formal nicknames Eppie and Hepsie, which seem revivable. Hephzibah "Eppie" Cass/Marner is the heroine of George Eliot's novel Silas Marner and Hepzibah Smith is a witch in the Harry Potter series.
- Rolanda
Origin:
German feminization of ROLANDMeaning:
"famous in the land"Description:

- Crookshanks
Origin:
Invented nameDescription:
Hermione's cat in the Harry Potter series.
- Norris
Origin:
FrenchMeaning:
"northerner"Description:
A British surname that was used only for males until Mrs. Norman Mailer, Norris Church (born Barbara), came under the public eye.
- Granger
Origin:
English and French surnameMeaning:
"worker of the granary"Description:
If you're seeking a solid but underused occupational name with a warm, friendly sound - one that isn't Parker, Harper, or Karter, Granger might be an option. The association with Hermione Granger could make this feel more accessible to some, as could its slight similarity to the likes of Georgia, Gracelynn and Raina. It has only appeared once in the US stats for girls in 2022, when it was given to 6 babies.
