Sanskrit is a beautiful language, and a crucial part of the Hindu faith. It’s also been determined by linguists to be the language which emits the “most positive vibrations” and “most spiritually pure in nature”. So it’s no wonder that the spiritual dog owners among us would consider giving their pup a Sanskrit name.

The Sanskrit dog names in our list all have a gorgeous sound and powerful meaning. They also tend to be short, which is important to your dog’s ability to recognize the name when you call. But there are a few that really stand out to us as being great names for dogs.

For female dogs, let’s start with Aruna. This beautiful name means “rising sun”, and can be traced back to Indian mythology, where the God Aruna is a charioteer who guides the sun across the sky.

A suitable name for energetic, athletic females would be Meghna, which means “lightning” and has a beautiful sound to it. And for something a bit more flexible but still rooted in Sanskrit origins, you could name your girl Tara. This elegant name symbolizes the light of the soul, and was the name of the wife of Shiva in Hindu mythology.
