Wolf Names
Published: Last updated: by Kyle J. LarsonAre you looking for some awesome wolf names for your dog? Our list of wolf names are chosen to suit the power, fierceness, and beauty of wolves. Below you’ll find a list of male and female names. We’ve also included some names that mean wolf and some famous wolf names.
The wolf is also known as the grey wolf or timber wolf, and is native to Eurasia & North America. Wolves and dogs descend from a common ancestral wolf population. However domesticated dogs are bred far enough away from wolves that they can live with humans and require less space to exercise.
These wolf names are perfect if you’ve got a dog that resembles a wolf like an Alaskan Malamute, Husky, Eskimo, German Shepherd, or Inuit. Or if your dog has wolf-like behaviors they work great as well!

These names are really helpful for when I’m playing a wolf role-playing game on Roblox. If you want to role-play with me, my user is xSxTxAxRxBxUxRxSxTx.
