Aria – a musical name that means “air” in Italian, perfect for a dog that loves to run in the fresh spring breeze.
Zephyr – Zephyr is at the top of many lists and if you like me, were wondering why here is a bit of background on Zephyr for a spring dog name for a boy or male dog. Zephyr is often associated with the spring season because it refers to a gentle, warm breeze that typically occurs during this time of year. In Greek mythology, Zephyr was also the name of the god of the west wind, who was often depicted as a gentle and benevolent force. This imagery of a warm and pleasant breeze, along with the mythological association, has made “Zephyr” a popular choice for a spring-themed dog name. Additionally, the sound of the name itself has a light and airy quality to it, which further adds to its association with the season of spring.
