Looking for the list of Christmas dog names? A list of unique, cute girl and boy names for puppy inspired by Winter, Religious, Movie and Santa Buddies.
Noël(Xmas) comes to us from the Latin verb nasci, meaning “to be born.” In the book of Ecclesiastes, the birth of Jesus is called natalis.
In fact, the word ‘noel’ means ‘Christmas’ in modern French; ‘Père Noel’ is French for Father Christmas and ‘The First Noel’ is a traditional English Christmas song.
Holiday dog names don’t have to start and end with Christmas. Though Christmas offers up plenty of inspiration. You can also find puppy name ideas from other winter holidays, Religious and family traditions from food to literature.
