Freya's cats are sometimes referred to as "fairy cats", which is also a nickname for the Norwegian Forest Cat.

Etymology

Sylveon's name likely comes from the word "sylvan" meaning "of the forest", due to legends of fairies residing in forests, and "eon". It might also include "sylph" a mythological spirit of the air.
