Australian Dog Names:
Choose a Name from "Down Under"
Australian dog names can come from names of people and places, words that are Aussie slang and native words to the culture there. Rather than publish a huge list of names that include ones that we don't particularly think are great for dogs, we have carefully edited this dog name list and have included definitions of the words for you to read through.You will find unique female Australian dog names, such as Karri, a Western Australian Aboriginal word for a type of eucalyptus tree, as well as interesting boy dog names like Ace, which means "excellent!" or "great!" in Australian slang. As with the Native American languages in the United States, there are many different Aboriginal tribes and native languages, as well. As you search through different places for the origins of Aboriginal words, you will find many different names and spellings for the English meaning of the word. For instance the word that means "moon" in English has many different names in the different Aboriginal languages. Some of these are Orana/Arana/Orani, Miki, Loorea, Jiba and Pierah. There are others as well. Remember, Australia is a huge land mass, and the native peoples were from all different areas of Australia.
