430 Best Cat Names Starting With Y in 2026
Cat names often reflect the cat’s personality, or get picked because they remind the owner of something, like a relative’s name.
Popular names change over time. Some stay popular for centuries, while others last only a short while.
Names like “Mittens,” “Whiskers,” “Smudge”, and “Buttons” have all made it to the list of most popular cat names in history.
It’s easier to browse for a name by letter, so here are cat names starting with Y.
I’ve tried to cover a lot of ground, drawing on celebrities, pop culture, literature, history, film, nature and food, so there should be plenty to choose from.
I hope you enjoy reading through them as much as I enjoyed finding them.
