Meaning & Story
From Old French "de bon aire" meaning "of good disposition" — a beautifully apt name for a male dog with charming manners and an easy, pleasant nature.
Debonair is a name that arrives in a well-cut suit and knows exactly which fork to use. For a male dog with impeccable manners, a silky coat, and the kind of effortless charm that makes strangers reach down to pet him, Debonair is a perfect choice. The word has French roots meaning "of good disposition," and there's something wonderfully ironic about giving this sophisticated name to a dog. A Debonair never causes trouble — he's simply too well-bred for that sort of thing.
