Meaning & Story
An uncommon surname used as a pet name, likely of German or English origin; as a pet name it projects a quirky, distinctive character full of personality.
Runkle is the kind of name that makes people do a double-take — and then grin. It's got a wonderfully bumpy sound that practically describes a wrinkly-faced dog like a Shar Pei, Bulldog, or Basset Hound. The name has a grumpy-but-lovable quality that perfectly suits a dog who sighs loudly, claims the entire couch, and gives you deeply judgmental looks when dinner is late. Runkle is for the dog whose resting face is permanently unimpressed but whose heart is enormous.
