Introduction

Pitch black coats and deep dark eyes are absolutely striking on a dog (no matter the breed), and for anyone who appreciates these features, it may be necessary to choose a title that represents those dark traits perfectly. Names that mean midnight can literally possess the definition of the word "midnight", or they may simply reflect the essence of night in general. Whether the moniker you decide to choose actually means "night" in a different language, or if it reflects the coloring of the dog's fur itself, there is no doubt that midnight themed names are both beautiful and mysterious.

Dog Name Meaning Midnight Considerations

When it comes to deciding whether or not a midnight themed name is right for your dog, the biggest factors will be coloring and personality. Additionally, the time of day that your dog was born or perhaps the time of day that you found them, could also be excellent representations of the midnight hour. For instance, if you have a dog that doesn't bear a black coat but was born at midnight, a couple of names that would be excellent to consider would be "Midnight" itself, the African name "Ajambo" (meaning born in the evening), or "Nuru" (Swahili for "born at night"). On the side of naming your dog based on color and breed, an ideal combo would be a black Scottish Terrier who could bear the name "Cerin" if male and "Khiara" if female. Both names have similar meanings of "little dark one/small and dark".

Even though it may not be as obvious, personality can play a part in choosing a midnight themed name as well! The best example of this would be a sleepy dog that loves to cuddle, or a wild exuberant dog that seems to come alive at night. Respectfully, the names "Somnus" or "Nyx" would fit well.
