Naming your dog can be a fun way to reflect your identity, and Spanish dog names are a great way to show off your amor for your or your dog’s heritage. Among the most well-known Latin dog breeds include the Chihuahua, Dogo Argentino, and Ibizan hound, though that’s only the beginning.
We selected our favourite Spanish dog names through a combination of outside research and by digging through our Rover database of dog names worldwide. Many of these names are unique, while others show up on the list of top 100 dog names.
