Blaze

Blaze is an English word name derived from the Old English blaese, meaning 'torch' or 'bright fire.' As a given name, it also connects to the Latin Blasius (from blaesus, meaning 'lisping'), borne by Saint Blaise, a 3rd-century martyr. For pets, the fire imagery dominates — Blaze evokes speed, warmth, intensity, and the kind of energy that leaves a trail.

Blaze is a name for a pet who moves fast and burns bright — the dog who hits the yard at full sprint before you've even finished opening the door. There is an undeniable excitement to the name, something kinetic and alive, that suits a companion who approaches life at full intensity. It works equally well for a fiery red or orange-coated pet (the visual connection is irresistible) or simply for any animal whose personality seems to generate its own heat. Blaze is confident, vivid, and completely unforgettable.
