Griffin

Griffin is a Welsh-origin name, an anglicization of the Welsh Gruffudd or Irish Ó Gríobhtha. It also refers to the mythological creature — part lion, part eagle — a powerful symbol of strength and guardianship. The name carries both noble heritage and mythological power.

Griffin is a name that brings the best of two worlds: the proud Welsh naming tradition and the legendary power of the mythological creature that was half lion and half eagle. That is an impressive pedigree for any pet. It suits large, powerful, yet dignified dogs particularly well — the kind who carry themselves with authority and make other animals step aside. The griffin was traditionally a guardian of treasure, which is fitting for a pet who guards your home and your heart with equal devotion.
