Meaning & Story

Riggins is an English surname of uncertain origin, possibly from a place name or a patronymic from Rigg (ridge) with the -ins possessive suffix. It gained popular recognition through the Friday Night Lights character Tim Riggins, the brooding, athletic, deeply loyal fullback from Dillon, Texas.

Riggins is the name for the dog who has Tim Riggins energy: effortlessly athletic, slightly brooding in appearance, fundamentally loyal to his people, and somehow more attractive than he has any right to be while doing absolutely nothing. The Friday Night Lights character became one of television's great beloved figures precisely because his rough exterior concealed a heart of genuine gold. Riggins suits a handsome, athletic male pet with a complex inner life and an absolute, unwavering devotion to his chosen family. Texas Forever.
