Meaning & Story
Derived from Old French place names meaning 'golden village,' Orville is a name with an air of old-fashioned dignity and pioneering spirit.
Orville carries the gentle gravitas of a bygone era — think front porches, aviators, and gentlemen of great character. It's a name that suits a big dog with a noble bearing, or a small dog with an outsized personality. The aviation connection (Orville Wright) gives it a dash of pioneering spirit that works wonderfully for a curious, adventurous pet.
