Meaning & Story
The name of the twelfth and last month of the year — from Latin 'december' meaning 'tenth month' (it was originally the tenth month in the Roman calendar) — evoking winter, endings, and the magic of the holiday season.
December is a name with the quiet magic of the year's final chapter. It carries the specific atmosphere of that last month — snow or cold rain, warm interiors, the feeling of things ending and beginning simultaneously. For a pet who arrived in December or who carries that same wintry, contemplative, magical quality, the name is genuinely beautiful.
