Introduction
Surat is a city of nearly four and a half million people in Gujarat, an Indian state. It’s the eighth largest city in India and, while it used to be a seaport, it’s now a hub for the polishing and cutting of diamonds.
This fast-growing center and administrative capital of the Surat district is where millions of people call home, which is why it makes sense for dog lovers to start looking for Surat dog names. Therefore, even if you no longer live there, you can get the feeling of being home every time you call your dog to you.
Surat Dog Names in Pop Culture
Before you go ahead and give your dog a Surat dog name they will have for life, consider the connection it can have with a dog in pop culture too. There can be very few things as satisfying as being able to tell people that not only does your dog’s name come from your home country, but it also shares the name of a dog in a movie, TV show, or from a monumental part of history.
One such dog is Teddy or Ted for short. Ted was one of the first canine actors in American film history, and people referred to him as Teddy the Great Dane or Keystone Teddy. He was a Great Dane and gained his limelight mainly in Keystone comedies by Mack Sennett.
According to cast members and film crew of the time, Ted was as professional and as well-behaved as any of his human counterparts, which added to his overall appeal. Ted was a much-loved pooch on the big screen and appeared in over 60 films between 1915 and 1924. Much of his movies were also shorts, making him able to appeal to a far wider audience too.
One of his more popular appearances was in the 1923 silent comedy film called The Extra Girl, produced by Mack Sennett. This movie paved the way for similar films about Hollywood and touched on what was to become a significant plot in several American movies in the years to come.
The Extra Girl is about a small town girl called Sue who travels to Hollywood to escape from her marriage. She hoped to become a motion picture star. Ted’s role was minor, but he played himself in the film.
Teddy has no link with Surat or its people, but he does share a name with a proud part of Surat’s history. As Ted the dog became “one of the first” in something, so too did Surat.
The Pandit Dindayal Upadhyay Indoor Stadium played host to the TEDx Surat 2018 conference in Gujarat. While that’s not uncommon as several stadiums host TEDx events, it became one of the largest TEDx conferences in the world. The Indoor Stadium in Surat has a central area of 63 x 33 meters and plays host to fashion shows, sports games, and more.
TEDx is a collective of ideas and missions under the TEDx name. Any curious person can organize a TEDx event under the name with live speakers, all in the name of sparking brilliant conversation with their peers.
Surat Dog Name Considerations
India, as a whole, has a distinct culture and religion of which you may like to be aware. Knowing as much as you can about Surat people and what they believe in can help you work out which would be appropriate Surat dog names and what wouldn’t be.
Aside from cultural and religious sensitivity, you may also like to consider your dog’s gender and what names would be applicable for each one. Fortunately, several Indo-Aryan names could be unisex if you wanted them to be. However, you can also use nouns, descriptions, or information about places in Surat as Surat dog names as well.
Finally, have you put a lot of thought into your dog’s character? Sometimes, it’s helpful to understand your dog’s quirks before you give them a particular Surat name. For example, if your dog is bouncy, that word translates to Uchalavali in Gujarati - Surat’s language. You could then shorten it to Ucha, which is a perfectly acceptable Surat dog name.
Or, you could even be witty and funny and call your new pooch Kurato which means dog. As you now know, the sky’s the limit when it comes to giving your new adopted dog a Surat name that suits them for life.
