Douglas

Douglas traces to Scottish Gaelic "Dubhghlas," meaning "dark stream" or "dark river." It is a proud Scottish clan name that was carried by medieval heroes and has been a steady given name for centuries, carrying quiet strength and depth.

Douglas has the weight and solidity of a centuries-old Scottish name that has never really gone out of style. For pets, it carries a wonderful mix of gravitas and approachability — it suits large, dignified dogs like Scottish Deerhounds or Saint Bernards who carry themselves with quiet authority. Pets named Douglas often have an old-soul quality, the kind of companion who seems wiser than their years. The name feels like a firm handshake from a trusted friend.
