Are you looking for inspiring Persian cat names for your new Persian kitten or cat? Here are over 200 of the best Persian cat names to get your creative juices flowing. As you go through our suggestions, why not jot down the ones you like best and use them to compile your own Persian cat names list?

Naming Your Persian Cat

Choosing a name for any new pet is fun, but it’s important to get it right. After all, just like your gorgeous new Persian cat or kitten, the name you decide on will be for life! You may have a name in mind for your new pet before you even collect him or her. However, in many cases, your cat’s looks or personality will often choose their name for you!

You might want to name your Persian kitten after your favorite film star, a singer, a family member, or even your best friend. Perhaps you’re inspired by your cat’s looks or their eyes? Maybe you like the idea of a name that reflects your Persian cat’s heritage.

Try to choose a Persian kitten name that you’re comfortable with and that is easy for your pet to learn. Short names often work best for this reason. However, don’t be afraid to choose a longer name if you find one you like, and perhaps shorten it to a nickname that your new Persian playmate can quickly learn and respond to.

Male Persian Cat Names

The Persian cat is a pedigree pet with fine ancestry! As their name suggests, Persian cats are thought to hail from Persia (now known as Iran). However, some historians think that the exotic Persian cat may have its ancestral roots in ancient Egypt.

When it comes to choosing Persian cat names for boys, we’ve taken into consideration their rich heritage and rather haughty appearance, as well as their long, silky coats and laid-back character. These suggestions are for quite formal sounding names (we’ll look at some cute names for Persian cats later in this article):

  • Abbas
  • Adonis
  • Aladdin
  • Amir
  • Arthur
  • Basil
  • Bijan
  • Boots
  • Cassidy
  • Elvis
  • Garfield
  • Hamid
  • Hunter
  • Leo
  • Luxor
  • Lynx
  • Mozart
  • Mr Jinx
  • Pharaoh
  • Rah
  • Sphinx
  • Sylvester
  • Tigger
  • Titan
  • Xerxes

Using Coat Color As Inspiration

Persians are very distinctive with long, glamorous coats and trademark flattened faces. Their eyes can be blue, green, copper-colored, and every variation in between. Some Persian cats even have eyes of different colors; Smokey had one blue eye and one green one!

Grey Persian Cat Names

Sometimes, the right name will just “click”. For example, when I was a child, our family was “adopted” by a stray Persian cat who just turned up on our doorstep one day. He was a solid grey Persian with the most gorgeous two-toned eyes. Right away, I knew he just had to be called Smokey. The name suited his color and the way he had mysteriously appeared, just like a puff of smoke! Grey Persian cats inspire lots of ideas for names. Here are just a few that you might like:

  • Stormy
  • Foggy
  • Smokey
  • Skye
  • Misty
  • Woodsmoke
  • Greystone

  • Cinderella
  • Cenizo
  • Carbon
  • Esprit
  • Elephant
  • Granite
  • Grigio
  • Koala
  • Hazy Fantazie
  • Macy
  • Lun

Blue Persian Cat Names

Blue Persian cats are actually a shade of grey in colour, but these names reflect their true identity:

  • Bleu
  • Bluebell
  • Seaside
  • Captain
  • Peacock
  • Sapphire
  • Shadow
  • Indigo
  • Astral
  • Periwinkle
  • Diesel
  • Azul
