词源

The attribute “Maine” is after the region where the breed originally became popular. For the second part, there are several theories. The dominant one is that it refers to a resemblance of the breed to the raccoon, leading some to propose the theoretical impossibility of the cat being a crossbreed with the raccoon. Another theory is that the name derives from a legendary Captain Tom Coon, who is said to have brought over such exotic cats.
