20 Handsome Cat Names That Mean Handsome

Handsome started life as a plain word for handy or easy to handle, and only drifted toward good looks centuries later, which makes it a fitting label for a tomcat who is both striking and easy to live with. This list gathers male cat names that literally mean handsome, fair, or good-looking, grouped by the language that minted them. Gaelic and Irish give us Kevin, from caomh and gein, handsome by birth, plus Kenneth and Keefe. Arabic supplies Hassan, Jamal, and Shakil, all built on roots for beauty and good form. Romance languages contribute Beau and Bello straight from bellus, while Sanskrit offers Sundar and Sohan. Greek myth lends Adonis and Narcissus, the archetypes of male beauty, and Norse Frey was called the fairest of the gods. Each entry notes its real root so you can pick a name whose meaning holds up, not just one that sounds the part.
