Merlin

Merlin is a Welsh-origin name, from the Old Welsh Myrddin, possibly derived from the place name Carmarthen (Caerfyrddin) in Wales. It is most famous as the name of the legendary wizard and adviser to King Arthur in Arthurian legend, making it synonymous with ancient magic and wisdom.

Merlin is one of the great magical names — steeped in Arthurian legend and the mystique of the ancient Celtic world. For a pet, it carries a wonderful sense of wisdom and mystery, as if your companion sees things others cannot. It suits cats especially well, given their enigmatic, slightly supernatural qualities, but works beautifully on any animal with observant eyes and an air of knowing more than they let on. Merlin is also the name of a small but fierce falcon, adding a sharp, wild edge to the magic.
