Meaning & Story

From the Welsh Conwy, meaning 'holy water' or a name of uncertain origin — also a river and town in Wales, evoking ancient Celtic landscape and flowing vitality.

Conway has the rolling, unhurried quality of a Welsh river — melodic, sturdy, and pleasantly unexpected as a pet name. It suits a male dog with a calm, easy temperament and a solid, dependable character. The Welsh connection gives it a gentle Celtic heritage that feels both distinctive and approachable. Conway is the name for a dog who is equally at home on a long hike or curled up by the fire. Reliably wonderful.
