Baci

Baci is the Italian word for kisses — plural of bacio, derived from the Latin basium, meaning a kiss. In Italian culture, baci are given freely and warmly, and the word itself carries all the tenderness of that tradition. The name is perhaps best known from Baci Perugina chocolates, the small, kiss-shaped chocolates wrapped in love notes that have been a symbol of Italian romance since 1922. For a pet, Baci is an expression of pure affection.

Baci is a name that communicates exactly what kind of companion this is before you have even met them — this pet is loved, and they are going to love you right back. The Italian meaning gives Baci a warmth that goes beyond the ordinary, a softness that feels genuinely tender. Companions named Baci are typically the affectionate, close-contact types: the ones who press up against you, who find your face with their nose, who seem to be perpetually trying to make physical contact with their favorite people. Sweet, warm, and completely devoted.
