Snowy

Snowy is an English descriptive name from the adjective snowy, meaning resembling or covered in snow — white, pure, and soft. As a pet name it is almost entirely used as a color descriptor, given to white or very pale companions whose coat or fur immediately brings fresh snowfall to mind. The name carries the innocence and freshness of newly fallen snow and has a gentle, clean quality. For pets, Snowy is particularly associated in European culture with Milou, the white terrier companion of Tintin in Hergé's famous Belgian comic series.

Snowy holds #301 on the pet name charts and is one of the most honest names in the catalog: it means exactly what it describes. A white or very pale companion named Snowy is a companion whose name is a perfect description. The name carries the freshness and purity of new snow, with a gentle, clean quality that suits a companion who is tidy, elegant, and perhaps a touch pristine in their habits. Snowy also has a beloved European pedigree as Tintin's loyal white terrier companion, which gives it an additional layer of charming literary history.
