Find more male dog name ideas here. Because the other letters of the alphabet are of course missing.
That’s already the entire list of all dog names. You probably just skimmed the list at first. I always do that. However, you must have overlooked a few great names.
Scroll up again, taking a closer look at each name. Maybe one of the names is inspirational and gives you more ideas.
We would like to introduce you to particularly beautiful names in more detail. We explain each name with the meaning and origin of the name.
Female dog names starting with C
Camilla
This name is the feminine form of Camillus. This Latin name means the ‘sacrificial servant’ or ‘acolyte’. Camilla can also be translated as “the honorable” in this context.
Despite the common misconception, the name has nothing to do with chamomile. Because the medicinal plant is called “chamomile” in English.
Carrie
Carrie is an English name that is considered a short form of Carol. This word in turn means “Christmas carol” in the English-speaking world.
However, Carrie can also be derived from the old German male name Karl. Then the name means “male” or “free”, which would only be partially appropriate for a bitch.
Christa
This name is one of the many feminine forms of Christian, like Christina, Christine or Christiane. Christa thus has a strong connection to religion. The name means “the Christian” or “the believer in Christ”. In Germany, all forms of names have been known for centuries.
Cynthia
Cynthia is an English given name, but originally comes from Greek. Here it derives from Mount Kynthos and is an epithet of Artemis. The name best suits a lively bitch, as the Greek goddess of the hunt.
Male dog names starting with C
Cedric
The origin of the name Cedric is Celtic. It probably comes from names like Cerdic or Ceredig. These in turn are derived from the Welsh word “carad” which means “beloved”. So the name Cedric symbolizes your love for your dog.
Clark
Clark was originally an English surname. But it can also be used as a first name or dog name.
Clark goes back to an old job title for members of the clergy. This included, for example, priests and pastors.
Cliff
The name Cliff was also once a family name. It refers to a location and not to an occupation. According to the literal translation, whoever was named Cliff probably lived near a cliff.
Incidentally, Clifford is the name of the dog in the well-known American book series “Clifford the Big Red Dog”. It’s also available as a TV series and film.
Curtis
This is an English name with Old French origins. The English word “court” still stands for the court of a ruler. So Curtis can also be translated as “belonging to the court” and is a strong, chivalrous name.
Many dog names with C come from the English, Latin or Greek language area.
Some dog names are related to divinity or high spiritual posts. Others simply stand for love, belonging, and freedom.
This makes the names perfect for exactly the things that you would like to give your dog along the way.
