Jet

Jet takes its name from the deep black gemstone, itself derived from the Old French jaiet and Latin gagates — named for the town of Gagae in Lycia, where the stone was found. Jet is an intensely black, semi-precious stone formed from ancient wood and prized since prehistoric times. The word also shares its form with jet as in jet aircraft and jet stream — evoking extreme speed and the color of a dark sky. For a pet, Jet is sharp, fast, and impossibly cool.

Jet is a name with velocity and depth — it is short enough to be crisp, dark enough to be dramatic, and fast enough to suit the most energetic of companions. Pets named Jet tend to move as if the name came with speed built in, the kind of companion who crosses a room at pace and approaches everything with a quick, focused intensity. The jet-black stone connection makes it ideal for dark-coated companions, giving them a name that captures the beauty of their coloring in a single clean syllable. For a fast, dark, brilliant companion: Jet.
