Tybalt
Tybalt is a male given name, known primarily from Shakespeare's *Romeo and Juliet*, where Tybalt is Juliet's hot-tempered cousin who kills Romeo's friend Mercutio and is in turn killed by Romeo.
The name evokes aggression and pride.
Shakespeare borrowed both the name and its association with cats from medieval tradition—Mercutio mockingly calls him "Prince of Cats."
