African Dog Names
"Out of Africa - all the best names"
Our list of names isn't the biggest on the web, but that's just how we like it.
You see, we apply two criteria when selecting foreign (i.e. non-English) names for our site - the name must be pronounceable, and its meaning must be appropriate.
Our list includes:
ADANNA: "Her father's daughter"
ASHA"Life"
BOBO: "Born on Tuesday"
HASAN: "Handsome"
So choose with confidence from the list below. We think it contains some pretty good names for dogs.
