Meaning & Story
An English surname used as a given name, Nixon derives from a medieval English form meaning son of Nicholas - from the Greek Nikolaos meaning victory of the people. As a pet name it carries a bold, presidential quality.
Nixon is a name with swagger and a certain historical weight that somehow works perfectly for a confident, slightly unconventional pet. He is probably a dog with very specific rules about how things should be done, who communicates those rules with absolute clarity, and who holds grudges about schedule disruptions longer than seems reasonable. Nixon has opinions. He is sticking to them.
