Meaning & Story
Bellamy is a French surname meaning 'good friend,' from the French 'bel ami' (beautiful friend) — used as both a surname and a modern given name with a literary and adventurous spirit.
Bellamy is one of those names that feels both classic and refreshingly modern — 'beautiful friend' in French, which is honestly the best possible description of a beloved pet. It has a lyrical quality that flows beautifully, and the gender-neutral spirit of the name makes it equally wonderful for dogs and cats of any kind. For fans of literary adventure, Bellamy Drake from the TV series The 100 gives it an additional heroic dimension. Bellamy is warm, sophisticated, and completely charming.
