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 P briefly explained
Pauline
When I hear the female first name Pauline, I automatically think of a delicate personality. A little creature, cute and lovely at the same time.
In fact, the name originally comes from Latin. Pauline goes back to the word “Paulus”, which translated simply means “small”.
Peggy
The name Peggy is a pet name and is short for Margarete or Margaret. Translated, Peggy means something like “the pearl”, but can also be translated as “child of light”.
As a dog name, Peggy suits a female dog with a strong personality that exudes sparkle.
Polly
The first name Polly just sounds really happy and full of life.
The origin of the name lies in Aramaic, Hebrew, and Egyptian. Translated, Polly means “the fertile one” or “the star of the sea”.
Pia
This feminine name has a Latin origin and derives from the masculine name “Pius”. Pia is translated as “the godly”, “the pious” and also with “the respectable”.
I associate strength and an impressive personality with the dog name Pia.
Male dog names with P briefly explained
Paco
The name Paco originally comes from Spanish. He is the short form or pet name of Francesco, meaning “little Frenchman”.
With Paco, things immediately come to mind, such as masculinity, pure joie de vivre, and a gifted artist of life.
Patient
This short but memorable first name evokes nobility, nobility, and pride. This male first name has its origin in Roman.
In the past, Pat was used as a nickname and family name for nobles and nobles. The name Patricius is translated from Latin as “noble”.
Pepino
Pepino is a masculine given name. I imagine a little whirlwind with “pepper in the butt”. And it’s no wonder because this name comes from Italian. Pepino is a variant of the name Pepe, meaning “pepper”.
Prince
Of course, I associate the male first name Prince with the German counterpart “Prinz”. I am thinking of nobility, respectability, and splendor.
In fact, the name “Prince” comes from English and American. The name is simply translated into German as “Prince”.
Finding a suitable name for the new, furry family member can be a bit of a challenge. After all, the little darling should live with this name for many years and also be called with it.
With the large selection of great first names for your four-legged friend, the decision is not always easy. It’s best to listen to your gut feeling. Then you will quickly find the right name.
Be it character, race, or size you decide on a name, ultimately it will be the right one. Last but not least, the name underscores its unique personality.
Sometimes the dog’s nature reveals the name immediately. Trust your intuition, and look closely at the puppy to find the right name.
