Meaning & Story

An Old English and Germanic surname meaning 'brave friend' or 'bold friend' — also the name of US President Alec Baldwin, the Baldwin brothers, and the historic Baldwin locomotive family.

Baldwin is a name with old-world gravitas and just enough contemporary pop culture (the Baldwin brothers of Hollywood, the Alec Baldwin Saturday Night Live years) to feel current. For a dog who combines genuine dignity with occasional theatrical overreaction, Baldwin captures that particular combination with perfect accuracy.
