Did your child come into the world as a tiny thing with a low weight? Do you want to choose a “cute” name so you can cling to the days of your child being an adorable, tiny baby for as long as possible?
You might think it would be a nice touch to opt for a name that means “mouse” — fortunately, there are languages across the world with meanings that can be traced back to this tiny animal.
Abukcheech is a male Native American name meaning mouse. It specifically comes from the Algonquin, a tribe that currently resides in Quebec and Ontario.
Akhurath is a male Hindu name that means “One who has a mouse as his charioteer” — in other words, to have a mouse guiding you through life. The idea of a mouse guiding you might sound strange, but it traces back to Hindu symbolism, in which mouses represent the intellect and the mind.
Kumah is a girl’s name of African origin that means “small” or “mouse.” But if you definitely want the name to mean “small” and not “big,” be careful not to lose the last letter — the name Kuma means “bear” in Japanese.
Panya is a girl’s name that means “mouse” or “tiny one.” It has links to Russian, Egyptian, and Swahili roots, with slightly different meanings in each language — its Slavic roots are linked to the word “crown.”
Finally, Tolaram is a male Hindi name that means “a mouse.” It’s most popular among Muslims, but has been used in a variety of cultures.
