Meaning & Story
Rapunzel is a name from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale (1812) — derived from the German word for a type of bellflower or rampion plant (Campanula rapunculus). In the story, Rapunzel is the girl with magical long hair locked in a tower, whose name comes from the plant her mother craved during pregnancy.
Rapunzel is a name for a pet with extraordinarily long, flowing coat — or simply for an owner who loves the Disney Tangled version of this story and wants to share that love with their animal companion. The character Rapunzel is curious, creative, and full of pent-up energy that explodes into joy when finally released into the world. Pets named Rapunzel tend to be playful, expressive, and the proud owners of coats that require considerable grooming attention.
