If there’s one book that’s full of powerful and timeless names that fit all types of dogs, it’s the Bible. God puts a lot of significance on names, ensuring that each one is full of meaning and story, so a list like the above is a great place to start looking.

The way you name a dog naturally affects how it is perceived by others, and how you are perceived too. So biblical dog names are ideal for those who are proud of their Christian faith, and want to celebrate it with their new puppy. If you need some help picking from one of the adorable religious and spiritual names listed above, let’s take a look together.

When it comes to female dogs, we understand why Chloe is such a huge favorite with new dog owners. Meaning “green herb”, this name symbolizes new life and growth while also having a strong natural sound to it. It works so well for small and large dogs alike!

For something more explicitly Christian, we also like Trinity. This has become an increasingly popular girls name since the beginning of the 21st century, and is a cute option for dogs.
