Meaning & Story
From the English virtue name Charity, rooted in the Latin caritas meaning love, generosity, and goodwill toward others.
Charity is a name with genuine warmth baked right into its meaning. It is old-fashioned in the best possible way — the kind of name that belonged to a farmer's faithful dog two centuries ago and still sounds perfectly right today. Pets named Charity tend to be the ones who greet everyone with equal enthusiasm and make every visitor feel welcome. There is a generosity of spirit in the name that owners often say their dogs actually live up to.
