dog O.E. docga, a late, rare word used of a powerful breed of canine. It forced out O.E. hund (the general Germanic and IE word; see canine) by 16c. and subsequently was picked up in many continental languages (cf. Fr. dogue, Dan. dogge), but the origin remains one of the great mysteries of English etymology.
For example you could consider Rocky for a dog that is tough and protective, or if your puppy is loving, affectionate and small you could use a cute name like Romeo. Other common names for male dogs are: Bruno, Beau, Dakota, Maximus, Boomer, Scooby, Luke, Duke, Ace, Trapper, Axel, Gunner and Diesel. If you're having trouble choosing a name, you could also base your decision off the meaning of the name. Toby means God is good, whereas Jake means God is gracious.
