Felix

Felix derives from the Latin felix, meaning 'happy,' 'fortunate,' or 'lucky.' It was a common name in ancient Rome and was borne by several early Christian saints and popes. The name's upbeat meaning and crisp two-syllable sound have kept it perennially popular, and it has long been one of the most beloved names for cats in particular.

Felix is the quintessential cat name — sharp, self-possessed, and carrying just enough attitude to feel authentic. The Latin meaning of 'lucky' and 'happy' makes it a genuinely auspicious choice for a new pet, and the name's long history in both human and cat culture gives it real staying power. It suits a clever companion who always seems to land on his feet, whether he's navigating furniture or charming everyone at the vet. Felix has the rare quality of sounding both timeless and completely alive.
