Meaning & Story

Daenerys is a name invented by George R.R. Martin for the character Daenerys Targaryen in his A Song of Ice and Fire series, most famously portrayed by Emilia Clarke in HBO's Game of Thrones. The name has no confirmed linguistic origin but carries echoes of Greek and Valyrian-invented language. Daenerys became one of the most recognizable fictional names of the 21st century.

Daenerys is a pet name for owners who are deeply invested in their companion's destiny. Whether the reference is the Mother of Dragons in all her glory or the later, more complex Daenerys, the name carries enormous power and presence. It suits a fierce, beautiful companion with commanding energy and platinum or silver coloring — perhaps a white Husky or a silver cat with a regal bearing. A name that announces its wearer as someone extraordinary.
