Meaning & Story

An affectionate, informal English term for a close female companion, given to female pets as a term of ultimate belonging.

Girlfriend is a name that says everything about how this pet is seen by her owner: not just a dog, not just a cat, but a true companion, a partner in daily life, a presence that makes every day better. It's intimate and funny in equal measure — the kind of name that makes strangers at the park laugh with genuine delight and then immediately say 'that's actually so perfect.' A female pet named Girlfriend is clearly the center of someone's world.
