Meaning & Story
Demon is an English word from the Greek daimon meaning 'spirit' or 'divine power,' not necessarily evil in classical usage. As a pet name it suggests fierce energy and wild spirit, usually with ironic affection.
Demon is almost always chosen with complete irony and total love. The pet named Demon is generally a floppy-eared rabbit or a cat who once knocked a glass of water off a table and was sentenced to this name as a result. There's a dark humor to Demon that says: 'Yes, this animal has done something unforgivable, and we love them for it.' The name carries a kind of proud ownership of chaos that is deeply, specifically pet-owner-brained.
