Lancelot

Lancelot is a French Arthurian name — the legendary knight of the Round Table whose name derives from uncertain origins, possibly from the Old French lance. Sir Lancelot was celebrated as the greatest of King Arthur knights: brave, honorable, skilled in battle, and famously devoted. As a pet name, it is magnificently over-the-top in the best possible way.

Lancelot is a name for a dog who was clearly born to be a knight. Whether he is a Greyhound built for speed, a Mastiff built for battle, or a Golden Retriever who simply has impeccable manners — Lancelot suits a male pet with genuine nobility of spirit and an enduring, devoted heart. Pets named Lancelot tend to be loyal and protective, with a certain courtly grace. The name requires full commitment, but the reward is magnificent.
