Meaning & Story
From the Irish "faolán," meaning "little wolf," rooted in Celtic mythology and warrior tradition.
Phelan is a strong Irish name that translates to "little wolf" — a description that somehow manages to be both fierce and endearing. It's a wonderful choice for a dog who has that wild, untamed spirit just below the surface of his lovable exterior. The name appears in Irish mythology and was borne by several early Irish saints. For a dog with wolf-like features, a husky personality, or just a certain untamed energy, Phelan is a name that fits like it was made for him.
