Meaning & Story

A creative variant of Griffin, from Greek 'gryps,' the mythical eagle-lion creature.

Girffen is a quirky respelling of Griffin, the mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. The slight typo-feel of this spelling gives it custom charm — clearly named with love rather than precision. It works for a strong, watchful male dog with a bit of a regal streak. Griffins were guardians of treasure in mythology, and this name carries that protective spirit.
