About the name
Kit is English — the jaunty medieval short of Christopher ("bearer of Christ") and Katherine ("pure") — worn by Elizabethan playwright-spy Kit Marlowe and a rotating cast of charming rogues since.
Rare as a legal name, Kit delivers full-name completeness in three letters — the fox-kit association only helps.
One quick syllable. It pairs well with substantial middles (Kit Alexander, Kit Evangeline). On our vibe map it is Whimsical with Modern Minimalist economy and Heirloom parentage — the nickname that seized the estate.
