Elvish Dog Names, Elf and Elven Names for Puppies

Sorted alphabetically. Sort by popularity »

Elvish dog names transport your pup into the enchanting world of elves and fantasy. Drawn from the constructed languages created by J.R.R. Tolkien and other fantasy traditions, these names carry an ethereal, magical quality that sets them apart from ordinary dog names. If you are a fan of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, or fantasy lore in general, an elvish name adds a touch of Middle-earth magic to your dog's identity.

This collection features names from Tolkien's Sindarin and Quenya languages, as well as elf-inspired names from broader fantasy culture. Options like Arwen, Legolas, Galadriel, and Elrond are instantly recognizable to fellow fans, while more obscure elvish words offer unique and melodic choices that sound beautiful when called across a park.

Elvish names are perfect for dogs with a graceful, noble bearing — breeds like Borzois, Greyhounds, Salukis, and Irish Setters that seem to embody elven elegance. They also work wonderfully for any dog with pointed ears, a slender build, or a mysterious, dignified personality.
