dog O.E. docga, a late, rare word used of a powerful breed of canine. It forced out O.E. hund (the general Germanic and IE word; see canine) by 16c. and subsequently was picked up in many continental languages (cf. Fr. dogue, Dan. dogge), but the origin remains one of the great mysteries of English etymology.
1 A dog named âDrakeâ is usually named after male ducks which are hunted. 2  Other cool hunting dog names include âBulletâ, âAdmiralâ, âGeneralâ, or âJetâ. 3  Since hunting dogs are very sensitive to commands, never pick out a name that rhymes or has a similar-sounding name with commonly used commands. If youâre bringing home an older hunting dog which has already been registered or has already been given a nickname, giving it a new nickname can be confusing for him and you might find that he will fail to respond to its new name.
