Meaning & Story
Rum is an English word for the distilled alcoholic beverage made from sugarcane, from the 17th-century shortening of 'rumbullion.' As a pet name it evokes warmth, spice, and a hint of pirate adventure.
Rum is a name with genuine character — warm, slightly spicy, and faintly roguish. It's the kind of name that suits a pet with a bold personality and a mischievous streak, one who seems to have their own ideas about the rules. The pirate connection is an obvious bonus: any cat who swaggers slightly or any dog who seems to be plotting something could be a Rum.
