Tank

Tank is an American English word for a large armored military vehicle, derived ultimately from the Hindi and Marathi word tankh, meaning "cistern" or "reservoir." As a pet name, it is typically chosen for its associations with strength, power, and solidity. It is most commonly given to large, muscular dogs whose size and presence command immediate attention and admiration.

Tank is a name that means business — it belongs to the big, bold companion who takes up space in the best possible way. Whether it's a barrel-chested Rottweiler, a muscular Bulldog, or a surprisingly large cat who has claimed the entire couch as his territory, Tank is a name that celebrates size and strength with good humor. Pets named Tank tend to be protective, steady, and deeply devoted to their families. There's a lovable irony when a giant dog named Tank turns out to be a complete softie.
