Norwegian names for dogs can sometimes evoke images of snowy forests, tall mountains, and crisp, clean air—the physical characteristics of a country that has long been associated with beauty and strength. You'll find the 108 names on this list to be quite unique-sounding and perhaps unusual, especially if you live nowhere near Norway. We can especially see these names becoming popular for big breeds, but even smaller breeds can be bestowed an air of gravitas with these monikers.
