The Top 5 Male Cat Names Starting With S<\/h2>\n

1.<\/span> Simba<\/h3>\n

While several male names made the list, only one hit the top 10: the ever-popular Simba of Lion King<\/em> fame. Simba was the 6th most popular name for male cats in 2022, and it seems that it\u2019s going to be a popular name for years to come.<\/p>\n

\n

2.<\/span> Smokey<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019ve been around your share of cats, then you\u2019ve likely heard the name Smokey at least a couple of times. In fact, Nationwide Pet Insurance stated that this is the 9th most popular name for male cats overall, meaning you can expect to see this name for many gray-colored cats in the future as well.<\/p>\n

\n

3.<\/span> Shadow<\/h3>\n

Not far behind Smokey is Shadow, the 15th most popular male cat name on Nationwide\u2019s list. Shadow is yet another name often given to cats with a dark gray or black coat, although you can also give it to a cat that follows you around the house as if they\u2019re literally your shadow.<\/p>\n

\n

4.<\/span> Simon<\/h3>\n

Only two spots behind the name Shadow in 17th place is Simon. The name Simon has Hebrew origins. This is a Biblical name belonging to one of the 12 apostles in Christianity and means \u201cto hear\u201d or \u201clistening.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

5.<\/span> Salem<\/h3>\n

Cat and witchcraft have had a long tie to one another, so anyone knowing anything about the Salem witch trials often feels this is an obvious choice for a pet name. However, the name likely also gained popularity from the show Sabrina the Teenage Witch<\/em>, who also owned a black cat named Salem.<\/p>\n
