Meaning & Story

The French first-person pronoun meaning "me," used as a self-referential, personality-forward pet name.

Moi is an extraordinarily self-assured name for a pet — the French word for "me," used as though the animal has decided that one word is quite sufficient to capture their entire essence. It carries connotations of Miss Piggy's famous self-regard, and for a cat or a small dog with outsized confidence, it is genuinely perfect. The one-syllable punch makes it memorable and easy to call.
