Saul

Saul is a Hebrew name — from the Hebrew Shaul meaning asked for or prayed for. It was the name of the first king of Israel in the Old Testament, as well as the birth name of the Apostle Paul. In contemporary culture it gained a fresh wave of recognition through the television series Better Call Saul.

Saul is a name with tremendous historical weight worn lightly — it has been carried by kings and apostles and, most recently, by one of television most entertaining antiheroes. This duality is exactly what makes it a great pet name: it sounds both distinguished and effortlessly cool. Pets named Saul tend to be intelligent, resourceful, and rather good at negotiating their way to exactly what they want.
