Meaning & Story
From the Latin 'Severus' meaning 'stern' or 'strict' — famously used in the Harry Potter series for the complex, formidable Potions professor.
Severus is a name that commands immediate respect, and possibly a little wariness. It is perfect for the dog who rules the household with an iron paw, maintains strict opinions about bedtime, and has a deeply complicated relationship with affection — he wants it desperately but will never ask. Beneath the austere exterior, every Severus is a dog of fierce loyalty and unexpected tenderness.
