The fashionistas among us will recognize the name Zara. It's a pretty chic name for a dog, just like naming your pup after the Spanish fashion powerhouse.

Zara screams style and sophistication, making it apt for a pooch with a little sass and a LOT of class.

Plus, believe it or not, it's actually a nod to royalty, since Princess Anne of the UK named her daughter Zara. You've gotta love those regal connotations!

Etymologically, Zara means "blooming flower" in Arabic, and I feel flower names are just sooo fitting for dogs of all shapes and sizes.

So, if you want your dog to strut their stuff like a royal runway model, Zara is the perfect name. She's basically your designer label doggy!
