Naming your llamas could be fun for not only yourself but for your pet too.
Llamas are domesticated animals which are found mainly in the continent of South America. Llamas and Alpacas are species of the Camelidae family.
Predominantly found in Peru and Bolivia, Llamas are used for food, transport, and wool. History dates that Llamas were extensively used in the Inca Empire. After the advent of the Spaniards, these animals were introduced and then, imported to the rest of the world.
The word 'Llama' originated from Quechua, which is an ancient language of Peru. According to a certain story, llamas got their name by accident. Spanish explorers asked the native people in America "¿Cómo se llama?"
(What do you call this? ), pointing to a llama. The natives repeated the last word and thus, the animal became associated with the name.
We aim to give you the best cute and funny llama names which are suitable for either a male llama, a 'macho', or a female llama, called 'hembra'. Check these out! And for more funky pet names, take a look at Lizard Names and Panda Names.
