Meaning & Story
A feminine pet name borrowed from the English surname Cobb — meaning rounded lump or hillock — with a sturdy, grounded, old-American quality.
Cobb is a name with deeply American roots — it conjures cornfields, baseball diamonds, and a certain unfussy wholesomeness. As a pet name for a female dog, it has a pleasing unexpectedness: a strong surname-style name on a girl, the kind that's become increasingly popular. Cobb suits a solid, capable dog who doesn't fuss but always delivers. She's the dog who learns commands quickly, plays fetch seriously, and loves her family without reservation. A name as American as a summer afternoon.
