Meaning & Story
Rhys is a Welsh name meaning 'enthusiasm,' 'ardor,' or 'passion,' from the Old Welsh ris. It has been borne by Welsh kings and princes and carries genuine Celtic nobility.
Rhys is one of those Welsh names that sounds like a secret code for 'wonderful.' Compact and precise — one syllable, four letters — it carries more personality per character than almost any name around. There's a fiery quality to Rhys, a passion and enthusiasm that its meaning promises and Welsh pets delivered on for centuries. It suits a bright, energetic dog with keen intelligence and a zest for living that is frankly exhausting and completely magnificent.
