Dog Names That Mean Brave
Names meaning courageous, valiant, or fearless.
Brave-meaning names have ancient roots — courage was the most-praised virtue in nearly every pre-modern naming culture. Latin gives us Valerius (valiant) and Ferdinand ("bold journey"); Old English contributes Earnest and Reynold ("counsel-power"); Celtic and Welsh add Cadell ("battle"); Sanskrit's Veera means "warrior-brave". For modern owners, Hudson, Andrew (Greek "manly, courageous"), and Connor (Irish "lover of hounds, brave") all carry the meaning quietly. The list below covers names whose meaning spans courage, valor, fearlessness, and bold-heartedness.
