Meaning & Story
Bingley is an English surname meaning meadow of the people, derived from the place name Bingley in Yorkshire. It is best known as the name of the amiable Mr. Bingley in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
Bingley is the most genuinely amiable name in all of pet naming. Mr. Bingley from Pride and Prejudice is the character everyone loves immediately and for entirely justified reasons — cheerful, warm-hearted, uncomplicated in the best possible way, and completely unable to be anything other than delightful. For a sociable dog who likes everyone, who bounces rather than walks, and who has never had an enemy in their life, Bingley is a perfect Austen tribute.
