Meaning & Story
Snoop is an English word derived from Dutch snoepen (to eat sweets on the sly) or Middle Low German snuppen (to catch). As a verb it means to investigate or pry; as a name it carries the energy of someone who is always in everyone's business, following every scent with singular dedication.
Snoop is a name that describes at least 80% of dogs with complete accuracy. These animals sniff every corner, investigate every bag, and track every scent with the focus of a detective on a career-defining case. The name carries obvious associations with Snoop Dogg, the rapper, lending it a certain West Coast cool, but the literal meaning is equally fitting. Whether your dog is elegantly following a trail through the woods or aggressively investigating what you just brought home from the grocery store, Snoop applies.
