20 Mystical and Spiritual Names for your Dogs

All the fluffy good boys deserve some good loving and caring. Dogs are just the sweetest to humans. They are loyal, fearless, playful and intelligent, always ready to play fetch, yet never deters from a fight to protect their families. Dogs are well-loved all over the world and have a very well-deserved crown of being called "a man's best friend".

From the moment you decide to take on your dog, it's a commitment of a lifetime, in sickness and in health, you will never abandon your doggo. Under no circumstances will you leave your dog, you take him with you through hell and heaven. A true bonding between an owner and a dog comes from the first moment they interact, when the owner names the dog.

Naming your dog is a magical feeling, just like naming your child. Even though you didn't give birth to him, you know you will love this doggo till the end of your life. Some people even fuss more over naming their dog than naming their kids. It's understandable, you want a powerful name for your dog, something that stands out and make people go like "aww, that's the perfect name for your dog".

Well, you probably have read through a ton of books or even websites to look for the perfect name and still to no avail. Don't look further. Here are spiritual names for you as well so you can give your dog the most elegant and graceful name possible!

Nothing says grace more than a blibical name. Kaleb means "faithful" in Israeli and as we would know, Kaleb is a very common biblical name. Some dog owners prefer to give their dogs human-like names, because they are our best friends, just like any one of us. You can either spell it with a C or a K, but with a K is definitely a special choice that makes your doggo stands out.

Pax is of Latin origins, meaning peaceful. Pax is actually a rather common name for dogs these days. It's a simple yet meaningful name.

Your dog may come to you in this life because of the good deeds you or him had done in the previous one. The circle of life is infinite. It goes on and on.

Naming a dog is different than naming your child, with your child, you kind of have a certain social norms to stick to so people don't make fun of your kids for having "special names". There's nothing wrong with the name Faith but people often make fun of it if a child's name, but when it's a dog's name, it's just beautiful.

Faith is something we all need to have, whether you're religious or not, you should still have faith in things, like hamunity, love and all. No one should lose their faith under any circumstances. A person without faith always just seems to slowly fade away. Naming this to your dog reminds you on a daily basis that how important it is to have good faith in beautiful things in life.
