Kingston

Kingston is an Old English place name meaning 'king's settlement' or 'king's town,' formed from cyning (king) and tun (settlement, estate). It carries a regal, urban energy that bridges old-world authority with modern city cool.

Kingston is a name that walks the line between royal and street-level cool with impressive ease. Originally a place name — most famously the capital of Jamaica — it found its way into the pet world riding a wave of geographical names that feel both meaningful and stylish. Dogs named Kingston tend to be big personalities in compact or large frames alike: the kind of pup who arrives at the dog park and somehow becomes the center of gravity. The name particularly suits breeds with a confident, swaggering stride.
