Are 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!

    There were some good ideas on here but nothing that would work for the book im writing. Ive been writing a few books and need new names for my characters.
    Also thought i should mention that Sirius Black was a Animagus who could become a dog, not a wolf.
