Meaning & Story

From Hebrew/Aramaic, meaning "servant of Nego" — a biblical name from the Book of Daniel, dignified and ancient.

Abednego is a wonderfully ancient and dignified name drawn from the Book of Daniel in the Hebrew Bible, where Abednego is one of the three companions thrown into the fiery furnace alongside Shadrach and Meshach. The name means "servant of Nebo" (a Babylonian deity) in its Aramaic form. For a pet, it's a gloriously grand choice — especially for a large, noble dog who seems to embody ancient steadfastness. It's the name of a pet who walks through fire and comes out fine.
