Introduction
Arabic Dog Names in Pop Culture
The Saluki in the movie, which is just gorgeous, is one of the dogs who is against the army of cats trying to take over and mess with the researcher. Susan Sarandon is the voice of Ivy the Saluki, who is actually an alley dog, even though she looks like royalty with her grace and stature. Ivy also has a great sense of humor with a dash of a sarcastic tone, which makes her seem very knowledgeable and confident.
A popular blog that showcases historically famous dogs and dog breeds have an article about the Saluki, published on March 29, 2016. The article discusses that the Saluki, being around for thousands of years, was a greatly-respected dog in the Middle Eastern countries. They still are revered in many countries, as the breed runs as powerful, yet graceful, as ever.
In the film Oliver and Company, Rita is a Saluki. Rita helps Oliver, a kitten, navigate and survive the streets of New York City. Oliver and Rita become quite close, and Rita the Saluki has a real mothering instinct for the kitten. This is a story with many themes, such as love, loyalty, survival, and friendship. Oliver and Company was produced in 1988 by Disney. This is the 27th film by Disney, and the animated movie was inspired by the Charles Dickens' novel Oliver Twist.
A book by Brian Patrick Duggan, Saluki: The Desert Hound and the English Travelers who Brought it to the West, was written to discuss the history of the breed in the Middle East during the days of the British Empire. The book talks about the Saluki, and how it became a noble part of other countries, as it has evolved and become a favorite pet, hunter, and even show dog. It is a great book to gather a deeper understanding of this stunning and unique breed.
Arabic Dog Name Considerations
Another idea for naming your dog is to take a closer look at the appearance and personality. Surely there is a striking and unique characteristic that really gets your and others' attention. If so, you can look that word up (the adjective) and find a name that has the meaning of that descriptor.
Many Arabic dogs were and still are solely used for hunting or guarding the flock. A hunting name or a guardian name may be chosen. Theron is a male name meaning hunter in Greek, and an African female name meaning hunter is Kacela.
Of course, you know your dog better than anyone. If you just got your new companion, be sure to get to know the personality before you choose the name. With the help of research, family and friends, and even just pure instinct, you will come up with an ideal name before you know it!
