Meaning & Story
Bristol is an English city name, derived from the Old English 'Brycgstow' meaning 'the place at the bridge.' As a pet name it carries a breezy, coastal English character with a sense of adventure and open water.
Bristol has the energy of a harbor town — windswept, independent, full of interesting arrivals and departures. It suits a free-spirited female pet who seems always to be just about to go somewhere: always at the door, always alert to possibilities, always ready for the next adventure. Bristol is a name for a wanderer who still always comes home.
