The Bible is a great source for finding pet names. Personally, I think the best pet names are two-to-three syllable names. Sometimes it's simply the sound of the name that makes it a good fit for your pet. Often, though, it's the meaning of the name that influences the choice.

This collection of female pet names suggests several ideas from the Bible and why each might make a good name for your pet. I've also included the original language of the word, where it can be found in the Bible, and its meaning.
