Meeko

Meeko is an invented name that gained widespread recognition through the 1995 Disney film Pocahontas, where Meeko is the name of Pocahontas's raccoon companion. The name itself may draw from Native American naming traditions though the specific origin is uncertain. It carries connotations of mischief, curiosity, and irrepressible energy.

Meeko arrived in the cultural consciousness as Pocahontas's raccoon in the beloved 1995 Disney film — a creature defined by insatiable curiosity, constant snacking, and the kind of mischief that is never quite malicious enough to be truly bad. For a pet with that same combination of inquisitiveness and food-fixation, Meeko is absolutely perfect. It is a name that sounds inherently cheerful and a little wild, and it works beautifully for animals who seem to approach life as one long, delightful adventure.
