If you have lived with a Siamese cat, you know that they rule the roost and often demand to be the center of attention. Elegant and self-possessed, Siamese cats are revered as symbols of wealth, prosperity and good fortune in their native land of Siam (modern day Thailand). The breed dates back to the 14th century, and throughout its history has acted as an ambassador of its native land; the first Siamese cat in the US was a gift to President Rutherford B. Hayes by the American Consul in Bangkok.
In Thailand, cats are often named for cities and towns, a tradition that can be a great way to share your interests and experiences with your new cat. To celebrate the origin of this regal breed, we dug into popular names from Rover’s extensive cat name database and scoured baby name lists from Thailand to find the most charming cat names.
