Lobo

Lobo is the Spanish and Portuguese word for 'wolf,' derived from the Latin lupus. It carries wild, untamed connotations and is a popular pet name for dogs — especially large, powerful, or wolf-like breeds — that evoke their lupine ancestry.

Lobo is a name that honors a dog's deepest nature. Every domestic dog shares a bloodline with wolves, and Lobo calls that ancestry forward with confidence and directness. The Spanish-Portuguese word for wolf, it is especially fitting for husky mixes, German Shepherds, and any dog with a piercing gaze and an independent spirit. There is something romantically wild about the name — it suggests a pet who is loyal but never fully tamed, who obeys out of choice rather than obligation.
