The name meaning means why does your cat have that name? For example, take the name Bluefrost
The prefix Blue would be given because his pelt color is a blue-grey tabby, and the suffix -foot means he's a colder, stern cat, or a very calculated and logical thinker.
The prefix is generally a physical description, and the suffix is typically a mental description. So a black cat who's skiddish and easily frightened could be named Ravenwing; Raven as the prefix for his dark fur, and wing for the suffix because of his flighty nature.
Hope that helps ^^
