In English, the word “Stitch” can be translated as “point” or “sewing”. With this, many fans have been able to identify cute meaning to the alien name. This is because, according to the admirers, when entering the family of Nani and Lilo, he was responsible for mending the relations between the two, which had been shaken for a while.

With only a slight help from her boyfriend, David, Nani needs to unfold to maintain a job and support the house, and have to prove to the social assistance that she was able to take care of her sister, constantly living with the fear that any day, some assistant would appear at her residence to take Lilo.
For this reason, with Nani often stressed by life’s difficulties, and Lilo in the growth phase without knowing how to deal with his feelings, the two were always fighting – until the arrival of Stitch.
The “puppy”, which arrived as a way to help Lilo in its difficult phase, for a while, was also the main reason for the sisters’ discussions, thanks to the huge mess he caused wherever he went. However, with the development of friendship between the child and the alien, Stitch ends up managing to sew the bond between Lilo and Nani.
