Meaning & Story
Fenway is an Old English place name meaning fen way or road through marshy land — the word fen referring to low-lying wetland. It is most associated with Fenway Park, the historic home of the Boston Red Sox baseball team, opened in 1912 and one of the most beloved stadiums in American sports.
Fenway is the ultimate Boston Red Sox fan gift to their dog, but the name has spread well beyond baseball fans because it is simply a great pet name. The historic ballpark connection gives it a warm, nostalgic American sporting spirit, while the Old English marsh path etymology grounds it in the natural landscape. Fenway suits an athletic, enthusiastic dog who attacks every activity with the full-tilt enthusiasm of a dedicated fan. It is a name with genuine heart.
