Meaning & Story

An English literary surname, famously associated with the dark, dual-natured character of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, suggesting hidden depths.

Hyde is a name loaded with literary intrigue — most people immediately think of the brooding, unpredictable Mr. Hyde from Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novella. For a pet, this is wonderful news: it suggests a companion with layers, someone who is perfectly angelic at home and an absolute chaos agent at the dog park. The name also has a geographical ring to it, calling to mind London's famous Hyde Park. It's sophisticated, slightly mysterious, and undeniably cool. Perfect for a pet with a dual personality — gentle giant by day, zoomie machine by night.
