Banjo

Banjo is an English word name taken from the stringed musical instrument, itself of uncertain origin — possibly derived from a Kimbundu word or an African linguistic root brought to the Americas. The name evokes folk music, Southern Americana, and cheerful, twanging energy.

Banjo is a name that practically plays itself. It is fun to say, impossible to say without smiling, and perfectly suited to a pet with a lively, musical personality. The banjo is an instrument associated with front-porch joy, bluegrass festivals, and the kind of music that makes your feet move without asking permission. Pets named Banjo tend to be the social, attention-loving types — always ready to perform for an audience and never shy about demanding center stage.
