Meaning & Story

Hatchi is a variant spelling of Hachi, derived from the Japanese word for eight, also the root of the legendary dog Hachiko's name. It evokes the most famous story of canine loyalty ever told.

Hatchi is essentially a tribute to one of the greatest dogs in history. The real Hachiko waited at Shibuya Station for his deceased owner every day for almost ten years — a story of loyalty so profound it moved Japan to erect a bronze statue in his honor. Naming your pet Hatchi is the most beautiful acknowledgment possible that you understand the depth of what a dog is capable of giving. It is a name that deserves to be lived up to, and somehow pets usually manage it.
