Meaning & Story
Zorro is a Spanish word meaning 'fox,' and the name of the fictional masked hero created by Johnston McCulley in 1919 — a nobleman who fights injustice while concealing his identity. It evokes cleverness, speed, daring, and a hint of mystery.
Zorro is an irresistible name for a pet with a cunning mind and a flair for the dramatic. The legendary masked hero of Spanish California gave this name its swashbuckling reputation, but the underlying Spanish meaning — fox — was always a perfect animal association. It is especially fitting for black dogs or cats, for quick, clever pets who seem always to be a step ahead, or for any animal who has mastered the art of the grand entrance. Zorro promises that your pet is not just a companion but a legend in the making.
