Morocco Dog Names

Beni is an adorable brown medium-sized dog that was rescued in New Delhi, India by Dieter Heller. Dieter was heading to work one cold morning when he saw a tiny puppy crossing a busy road. That little puppy was later named Beni. Dieter also discovered Beni’s brother, a little black and white furball that they named Bono. The brothers quickly grew into fun-loving adolescents and are searching for a forever home. Beni and Bono made the long journey from New Delhi, India to Chicago, Illinois in 2017 where they are being fostered by a family in Wadsworth, Illinois. These boys are deeply bonded, and their caregivers are hoping that the brothers get to stay together when their forever home is finally found. However, finding a home that is willing to take in two young dogs might be impossible. 

While Aidi has been used as a name from Morocco, it is also a dog breed that originated in Morocco. The Aidi is a rare breed outside of Morocco; therefore, using Aidi as a name will not necessarily cause confusion because most people will not associate the name with the breed from Morocco. The Aidi breed is actually a Berber dog and has lived and worked in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. They were used as guard dogs to desert nomad tribes and are considered to be alert and aggressive. Morocco even has clubs that were formed to protect the Aidi and keep their bloodlines pure. The Aidi is a medium sized dog that weighs between 50 and 55 pounds and stands between 21 and 24 inches tall. Aside from being called the Aidi, these guardian dogs are also known as the Atlas Mountain Dog, Chien de L’Atlas and the Atlas Shepherd Dog. Being very protective of their family and flock, these dogs can be a force to reckon with if you are not an experienced dog handler. The Aidi has mainly been used as a guardian dog, but they are beginning to be used as police dogs and family companions. Many researchers believe the Aidi descends from the Pariah Dog. While you probably will not be adding an Aidi to your household any time soon, you can most certainly add a new puppy named Aidi. In fact, Aidi just might be the perfect name for your next guardian dog such as a Great Pyrenees or Komondor. You may even decide to give your new pooch the name Aidi in hopes that they, too, will grow into a fearless, faithful companion.
