Meaning & Story

Gohan is a Japanese word meaning 'cooked rice' or 'meal' (ご飯), but also the name of Son Goku's firstborn son in the Dragon Ball Z series. It carries both domestic warmth and Saiyan warrior strength.

Gohan has a beautiful double life as a pet name. The Dragon Ball Z warrior who fought alongside his father and eventually surpassed him is an inspiration; the Japanese word for 'rice' or 'meal' is endearingly domestic. Either way, Gohan works magnificently for a pet who is both a total warrior in the garden and completely sweet at the dinner table. The fan community has given this name so much love that any pet named Gohan inherits a whole universe of warmth.
