Meaning & Story
Botanical term for the tissue in plants that transports water — also a uniquely modern name.
Xylem is plant-science chic — the tissue that carries water through trees and stems. Naming a pet after botanical anatomy gives it serious science-nerd cred. The name feels rooted (literally) and a little mysterious. Perfect for a green-thumbed owner's pet, especially one who lives among houseplants or has a calm, grounded energy.
