Meaning & Story
From the English surname Wells, meaning one who lives near a well or spring, evoking a deep, steady source of life.
Wells is a clean, understated name with an English heritage feel — the kind of name that works equally well on a Golden Retriever and a distinguished tabby cat. It evokes depth without shouting about it, like the wells it references: reliable, essential, always there when you need them. As a surname-style given name for pets, Wells fits the modern trend perfectly — it sounds equally at home in a Brooklyn apartment and a New England farmhouse. Deep and dependable.
