Garth

Garth is an Old Norse and English name derived from gardhr meaning enclosure or yard — essentially a walled garden. The name gained enormous popularity through the character Garth in the Wayne World films and SNL sketches, giving it a lovable, slightly dorky charm.

Garth is a name with two very different vibes operating at once: the ancient, earthy solidity of an Old Norse farmstead, and the lovable, head-banging enthusiasm of Wayne Campbell best friend. Both are excellent qualities in a pet. Pets named Garth tend to be enthusiastic, loyal, and completely lacking in pretension — the kind of dog who is genuinely excited about absolutely everything and makes your whole day better for it.
