Perdita

Perdita is a Latin name derived from the word perditus, meaning lost. It was popularized by Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale.

Perdita has a quietly dramatic elegance that is hard to resist. The name carries literary weight from Shakespeare but became truly iconic in the world of animal lovers through 101 Dalmatians. For a pet — especially one with spots, a gentle soul, or a slightly mysterious air — Perdita feels like a perfect fit. It sounds refined without being stuffy, and carries just enough story to make introductions interesting.
