Scarlett

Scarlett is an English occupational surname for a dyer or seller of scarlet fabric — a rich red cloth that was enormously valuable in medieval Europe. The word scarlet traces back through Middle English to Old French escarlate and ultimately to Persian saqerlat (a type of rich cloth). As a given name, Scarlett carries all the passion, drama, and vivid beauty of the color itself, amplified by its association with the iconic Southern heroine Scarlett O'Hara.

Scarlett is a name with undeniable drama and genuine warmth — it's rich, bold, and unforgettable. It suits a red-coated pet most obviously (Irish Setter, anyone?), but really any female companion with a strong personality and a flair for the dramatic can carry it. The name suggests someone who does nothing halfway: full enthusiasm, full affection, full presence. Pets named Scarlett tend to have a certain magnetic quality that draws attention, and they seem to enjoy every second of it.
