Meaning & Story
An English surname from the place Hutchin's town, ultimately from Hugh meaning 'mind' or 'spirit' — used as a distinctive gender-neutral pet name.
Hutchinson is a proper surname-style pet name that brings a certain legal gravitas to the dog park. It's the kind of name a very serious person gives a dog who is not serious at all, which creates a wonderful contrast. Gender-neutral and genuinely unusual, it has the weight of a distinguished family name and the slight absurdity of applying that weight to a creature who eats things off the ground. Owners who choose Hutchinson have an excellent sense of humor.
