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 L briefly explained
For four dog names, we describe in detail the origin and meaning of the name, especially for female names with L.
Lacie
Although this name sounds Indian, it comes from France. Here he referred to families who were resident in Lassy.
However, it is unclear where the name of the place comes from. Possibly it goes back to the Gallic male name Lasci.
Latia
This extremely rare name has roots in the Spanish-Portuguese region. It means something like “aunt” and can therefore be understood in very different ways.
For some, aunts are old and quirky. Others have in her a big sister who joins in any nonsense. Both versions are equally adorable.
Leila
If your dog has black fur, Leila is the perfect name for her. This name comes from Arabic, where it initially means nothing other than “dark”.
A story from the seventh century stages Leila as the queen of the night. In doing so, she lends the name something stately and elegant.
Luise
Admittedly, as a dog name, Luise seems pretty unusual. The meaning of the name might reinforce your choice.
Because this is the feminine form of Ludwig. And it contains the Old High German words hlut and wig. That means something like “famous” and “combative”.
Accordingly, Luise is a famous fighter. And the best protector you could ask for.
Male dog names with L briefly explained
And here we describe four more dog names starting with L that suit male dogs.
Leonel
roar! If you give your male dog this name, you will be walking a real lion in the future. Because that’s exactly what Leonel means.
It is the English variant of Leo or Leon, which in turn are short forms of Leopold and Leonhard. These names have been very common among popes since the Middle Ages.
Lewis
You pronounce this name like Louis. Which in turn is the short form of Ludwig. You can find out more about the meaning of “famous and combative” above under the female name Luise.
In short, a good protector walks at the other end of the leash. Be prepared to have to spell the English name at the vet or authorities.
Lorenzo
The original form of this name was Laurentius. That means as much as “the one from Laurentia originating”. Later it became the meaning “the one crowned with laurels”.
So Lorenzo is a real winner. Exactly the right name for a male with distinctive breed characteristics.
Ludwig
All good things come in threes. After Luise and Lewis, you will now find the original version of the “famous fighter” in our list of dog names with an L.
Ludwig is a derivation of the Frankish name Chlodwig, which has been known since the 6th century. For a long time, this first name was popular for naming rulers and saints.
