Meaning & Story
From French 'mignon' meaning 'cute,' 'dainty,' or 'darling' — a term of endearment used since the 16th century.
Mignon is a name that practically purrs — soft, French, and utterly charming. It's been a term of endearment in France for centuries, and when used for a pet, it carries all that Old World sweetness into a modern home. The name suits a small, elegant dog or a refined cat who accepts affection on their own schedule. Food lovers will recognize it from the classic cut 'filet mignon,' adding a deliciously luxurious undertone.
