10 cool Tibetan dog names

Badam

This is the cutest name of the selection. Meaning ‘peanut,’ this is a cute name for a dog like a Shih-Poo.

Dalha

This resplendent name means ‘moon goddess,’ which would give suitable grandeur to a Tibetan Terrier.

Dawa

The Tibetan word for ‘The Moon’ would be a fitting title for a beloved Lhasa Apso.

Diki

It sounds cute, and it means ‘healthy and wealthy,’ so it works really well for a spunky Tibetan Spaniel.

Dorjee

For a white dog like the Xiasi, a name with the magic power of a thunderbolt would be ace.

Jampo

A sweet name meaning ‘gentle,’ would reflect the cuddly character of a Shar Pei.

Ketu

A Chinese Crested Dog deserves a special name like this. It means ‘shooting star.’

Norbu

Norbu means ‘jewel,’ so a precious pooch such as a Shih Tzu could rock this name.

Shiwa

A Tibetan Mastiff has nothing to prove, meaning it would be a dignified holder of a name meaning ‘peaceful.’

Tashi

A floofball Chow Chow has a wealth of hair, so the Tibetan word for ‘prosperous’ works nicely here.
