The Spanish language is full of words that make excellent male puppy names. Since there is a lot of variety, we decided to put them together under this section.
However, worry not, because we are going to give you specific recommendations based on temperament, appearance, breeds, and other factors.
Do you think of your dog as noble and ready? Then you should name it Alonzo, which means exactly that. In our opinion, it would make an exceptional name for a dog that comes from a champion bloodline.
Following the previous suggestion, you should consider naming it Antonio, which means “beyond praise”. It makes an excellent pick for a graceful dog that comes from a champion bloodline and that has excellent show quality. You can bet on it that it will stand out from the rest of the contestants.
Another excellent name for a dog that you plan to take to contests and competitions would be Cortez, which means “Triumph”. What a better way to symbolize what you think of your pet? It will allow your puppy to wear its best traits from the moment you pronounce his name.
Many of us get a dog in key moments of your life. Maybe because we bought it or we received it as a gift, in any case, it is a wonderful addition, and in honor of it, you should consider naming it Eldora, which means “Gift of the sun”. If you feel your pet has added light to your life, then it makes even more sense. Bonus points if your dog has a golden or yellow coat.
Do you think your dog is peaceful? Many dogs have a calm temperament like the Golden Retriever or the Greyhound, and therefore, the name Ferdinand would make an ideal choice, because it means “peaceful venture”. On top of that, the breeds we have mentioned are amazing for the outdoors, since they love exploring, hunting and adventures.
Finally, if you have a working dog that will help you, then you should consider the name Jorge, which means “earth-worker”. Even though most dogs can fit the category, certain breeds like the Husky, the Spanish Mastiff, and the Australian Shepherd will match the name better.

Is your dog one of the most lovable beings in your family? Then we have the perfect suggestion for you, Carina. It means “beloved”, and therefore, it is wise to pick it in case you want to highlight that feature about your pet.
Is your pet an absolute sweetheart? If that is the most distinctive trait of your dog, then you could name it Corazon, which means “heart”.
Are you planning for your dog with you for hiking adventures? Then the name Dahlia would be a wonderful choice because it means “dweller in the valley”. It is feminine and easy to pronounce, and on top of that, since it is Spanish, your dog will stand out from the rest.
If your dog has a leading spirit yet it is controlled, calm and peaceful, then you could name it Frederica, which means “peaceful ruler”. It is a great choice for gentle giants such as the Bullmastiff.
If your dog brings a lot of joy to your life, and such is one of its most remarkable traits, then you could name it Letitia, which means joy in Spanish. We picked it because it has a beautiful meaning behind it, it is short and it sounds feminine. A great choice for any dog as long as it has such temperament.
Do you have a dog that looks like a wolf? Certain breeds have such appearance, and some examples would be the Alaskan Malamute, the Tamaskan Dog, and the Utonagan amongst others. In such cases, it would be a great idea to name it Lupe, which means “Valley of the wolves”. It is also the name of an American rapper, Lupe Fiasco.
Finally, if you have a white-coated dog, then you could name it Nevada, which means “snow-covered”. For example, it would be one of the best names for a female Maltese dog.
