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 with H briefly explained

Hanna

Hannah is a name particularly suitable for noble dog ladies. The name Hannah comes from the Hebrew word “channah”. The name Hannah is therefore usually translated as “the gracious”, “the graceful” or “the lovely”.

Henrietta

Henrietta comes from Old High German. It is a compound word of “heima” for “home” or “homeland”) and “rihhi” for “rich”, “powerful” or “dominion”.

Translated, the name means something like “home and power” or “lady of the house”. Therefore, the name fits perfectly with real guard dogs.

By the way: As a name game for “Henne”, the chicken in the animated series Paw Patrol is called Henrietta.

Hira

The name Hira has two very beautiful meanings. It is derived from the Hebrew word Hiram, “the exceedingly noble”. And “diamond” means Hira in Hindi.

Honey

This sugary-sweet name is perfect for bitches with shiny golden coats. “Honey” is English and means “honey”.

At first, Honey was just a nickname. Meanwhile, the name is popular with animals as a name.

Male dog names with H briefly explained

Hakon

Hakon came from a combination of the Old Norse words “há” for “high” and “konr” for “the son”. The name means something like “high son” or “big son”.

In Norway, this name has already been borne by seven kings.

Hasso

Hasso is a real classic among German dog names. It comes from Old High German and means “the Hesse”.

Herbert

The name Herbert is derived from the Old High German “heri” for “the army”, “the warrior”, and “beraht” for “shining”. The name means radiant warrior. However, it is also translated as “the brave” or “the brave”.

So Herbert goes particularly well with a fearless four-legged friend. As a guard dog, it guards its owners and their farm and defends them in the event of danger.

Horacio

An extraordinary name for an extraordinary four-legged friend. Horacio is the Spanish variant of the name Horatius, which goes back to the Spanish poet Horace. An ideal name for intelligent dogs.

Finding a distinctive name for your four-legged best friend is crucial. Not only because otherwise, confusion can occur more quickly. Above all, you want to express the individuality of your dog.

The name should of course match the character, appearance and breed of the dog. Especially if you get a dog from the breeder and get the litter with the letter “H”, this list can serve as a source of inspiration.

The important thing is that once you’ve settled on a name, don’t change it if possible. Otherwise, your dog might be irritated.
