Meaning & Story

A Germanic surname and given name meaning army ruler or warrior guardian, from the elements wald (ruler) and hari (army).

Warner is a distinguished surname-as-first-name pick that brings boardroom confidence to the dog park. It's the name of a dog who carries himself with authority and greets everyone with a firm, serious gaze before breaking into a tail wag. Warner works particularly well for larger breeds with a commanding presence — think German Shepherds, Rottweilers, or any dog who takes watch duties very seriously.
