30 White Cat Names, With Meanings
Names for a white cat — Snowball, Bianca, Yuki, Pearl, Marshmallow and more, with real meanings where they exist.
A white cat almost asks for a snow-or-cloud name, and this list is full of them. Yuki is Japanese for snow, Lumi is the Finnish word for it, and Neve and Nieve are snow in Italian and Spanish — four ways to name the same white coat. Alongside them sit the literal white names: Blanche (French), Bianca (Italian) and Alba (Latin) each simply mean white.
The softer, snack-drawer end is here too — Marshmallow, Coconut, Cotton, Cream, Vanilla and Sugar — along with the frost-and-sky set: Snowball, Frost, Winter, Crystal (Greek for ice) and Pearl. Word-names like Powder and Cotton are left as they are rather than given a made-up origin. It runs A to Z below; a white kitten tends to suit the plainest name on the page.

Every name here is one people genuinely use for a pet, and each is drawn from the same hand-checked list behind our full names finder. Where a name has a real, settled meaning we give it; word-names like Biscuit or Shadow are marked as word-names rather than dressed up with an invented origin. The count in the title is the real number on the page, and we add to it over time.
