Persians are one of the most distinctive-looking cat breeds and deserve a name that fits their uniqueness. Most have adorable flattened faces and elegant, calm beauty. When looking for options, you can consider regal names such as Akira or Sheba. Persians also have a variety of coat colors that can be used for inspiration (think Inky or Ivory). But, if you are going for a cute name, use your kitty’s personality as your guide.
Take a look at the most adorable names, some male and female options, and names inspired by foods and colors.
When thinking of a name for your cat, make sure you pick something that has lasting power, as Persian cats can live from 10 to 18 years.

You can get inspiration from anywhere, such as pop culture icons, movies with cats, or even fur color.
Persian cats are generally more calm, lounge-loving cats. You might want to pick some distinguished (yet cute) female names that are fitting for this breed.

Physical characteristics, such as fur color or eye color, can inspire you to think of a name for your feline friend. Persian cats are known for having eye colors that span the gamut from green, blue, and copper hues. These cats have extensive variety in their coat colors and patterns with white, black, tabby, calico, tortoiseshell, blue, lilac, and more.
