    Is there such a dictionary?

    I am trying to come up with a name for the kitten I rescued but I want something unique and one with a meaninful meaning behind it.

    I was thinking something along the lines of a word in a different language, one that means something similar to thirve, or rescued, or strong, etc.....

    I am getting so sick of searching the name sites, going into each language then scrolling through the meanings.

    You would think there would be a dictionary site where you can type in the word & the same word from many different languages would come up. (yes I'm asking for a lot here) lol

    There's the thread. Nothings for certain yet, I need to look in a mirror first & see if I really do have "sucker" written in big, bold, bright colors across my forehead. Thats why there isn't a new thread....... yet.

    This is my favorite name site, but no names are coming to me & I'm too lazy to really look at the moment.

    "Kitten" in Dutch is "Katje" , in French it is "Chaton" , in Spanish it is "Gatito"

    This is what you are looking for!

    There are many native american languages. You might have to search for a specific language, not "native American".

    Isn't a kitten called a Chaton? I've heard my grandmother use it, or atleast thats what it sounded like.

    I wont even repeat what my grandpa calles them (its nothing mean, just not gonna type it on here)
