Meaning & Story

An English word name meaning one who defies convention, breaks rules, or refuses to be controlled — from the Spanish 'renegado,' ultimately from the Latin 'renegare' meaning to deny or renounce.

Renegade is a name that announces itself boldly. It carries the thrill of independence, the energy of someone who plays by their own rules and looks great doing it. For a pet, Renegade is the name you give the one who escapes from the yard regularly, ignores every command with a look of supreme satisfaction, and somehow makes you love them more for it. There's also a musical legacy — from Jay-Z to Aaronic — that gives the name a cool, rhythmic edge. This is a name for a pet with an untameable spirit.
