Top Dog Names in Brazil

By Marvin Tang · iDogNames editorial · curated for Brazil · methodology

Portuguese, samba-and-futebol, tropical.

Brazilian dog naming is Portuguese with samba and futebol layered in. Top names: Mel (honey), Bento, Thor, Bella, Nina, Pipoca (popcorn), Pretinha (little black one), Princesa. Football culture pushes Pelé, Neymar, Ronaldinho, Romário. Tropical and beach vocabulary common — Sol, Praia, Areia (sand). The country has very high small-dog ownership (Yorkies, Poodles), so cute-and-small names dominate.
