Meaning & Story
A Scottish Gaelic name meaning 'swift' or 'fleet-footed', evoking agility, speed, and adventurous spirit.
Luath is a name with genuine Scottish Gaelic roots — it means swift or fleet-footed, and carries the brisk energy of Highland hills and fast-moving streams. It's perhaps best known as the name of the Labrador in the beloved novel and film The Incredible Journey, where Luath leads two dogs and a cat on a remarkable trek across the Canadian wilderness. That adventurous legacy makes it a fitting name for any pet who loves the outdoors and moves through it with joyful speed.
