But you’re probably looking for something a little different!
Meet the German Shepherd Dog (GSD)
The GSD is an extremely versatile breed that is a favored service dog, police dog, guard dog, or household pet. They are incredibly loyal dogs that bond closely with their family and are easy to train.
Shepherds are most commonly associated with a long bicolor coat (solid tan, silver, red, or cream coat with black saddle, face, and leg markings). But they also come in solid colors like black, blue, gray, liver, sable, and white.
These are some truly handsome and noble dogs that deserve names just as regal as they are! And we’d love to help you select a name that complements your pooch. So, we’ve broken down potential German Shepherd (Alsatian) dog names into categories based on their looks, personality, or job.
We’ve also added some reader favorites and other names which are just too fun to resist. Look no further for lots of inspiring and creative GSD dog names! We’ve got you covered whether you’re on the hunt for male German Shepherd names or female German Shepherd names.
Good German Shepherd Dog Names
The German Shepherd is a truly one-of-a-kind breed that is incredibly popular. In fact, it ranks second in the American Kennel Club’s list of most popular dog breeds in the United States!
They are generally perceived as working dogs that are fiercely loyal and excellent protectors.
German Shepherd dogs are the first breed you think of when a police dog or guard dog is mentioned. You might consider naming your GSD based on his bold personality. Or, you might even want to name them based on their beautiful profile or quirky personality.
We’ve split up German Shepherd names by gender in the following sections.
Female German Shepherd Names
Female German Shepherd names can reflect your dog’s feminine looks and “pampered pooch” status. They may also reflect her strong female personality, if you prefer.
We think that powerful and independent women, both real and fictional, serve very well as an inspiration for your German Shepherd girl’s name!
Here is a list of names reminiscent of strong women that would perfectly complement a female German Shepherd.
- Ella (short for Eleanor Roosevelt)
- Amelia (Amelia Earhart)
- Katniss (after the main character in The Hunger Games trilogy)
- Liz (short for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II)
- Hermione (Harry Potter)
- Nancy (Nancy Drew series)
- Xena (Xena the Warrior Princess)
- River (Dr. Who)
- Jackie (Kennedy)
- Cleo (Cleopatra of Egypt)
- Ursula
Male German Shepherd Names
Not only are there powerful women in history, but there are also plenty of courageous and heroic male figures. You have ample choice of male German Shepherd names as you make your selection.. f
Here is a list of male German Shepherd names that will help to convey your boy’s intelligence or strength.
- Apollo
- Julius (Caesar)
- Caesar
- Achilles (of Troy)

German Dog Names – Male
A list of German Shepherd Dog names wouldn’t be complete without a few names from the GSD’s country of origin!
As its name suggests, the GSD breed was created in Germany back in 1899.
Here are some German names and their meanings that may suit a male German Shepherd.
- Adalard (“brave”)

It means little/ baby bear ( female)
..it still suits her at 5 y.o.?
P Sturgeon says
Our shepherd was named Gretchen. Her mother was Lady Cindy Ann and her father was Baron VanCler. So her registered name was Lady Gretchen VanCler.
Before Gretchen we had a small dog…part Spitz..and don’t know the rest. My husband named her “Deeogee” pronounced with the emphasis on th “o” so it sounded like Dee -OH – gee. Once when I took her to the vet and said her name, the receptionist sarcastically said, “I KNOW that! What is her name” I had to explain.
Deeogee says
The last part about the woman “ I KNOW THAT, Whats the dogs name?!?”!!! Lol it had me laughing!!! I am going to name my dog “deeogee” cuz it’s such a cute name!!

My brother called his dog Deefer. I mulled it over. Deefer, I said. That’s nice. Where did it come from? He said, “D – for dog, Deefer”.

Bryn says
We just adopted a 1 year old full blooded beautiful GS. She wasn’t treated well. Her given name is Luna but due to the traumatic past we would like To change it. I would like something that means something special to us. We have a Maddie (lab), Lochi (border collie/lab mix pronounced LOKI.. but stands for LOve CHIld), when we got Lochi we were actually looking to rescue a female but fell in love with our boy. We were going to name a girl Elsie (for L.C. Love child— since my new husband and I won’t have children together except for our pups)
But I’m not sure Elsie fits a German Shepard. Oh the decisions.
Thomas says
Elsa is a good German name for a female GS. It’s the diminutive of Elisabetha, or Elizabeth.
Irene Ralyea says
Elsie was the name of my super tough Russian grandfather’s dog. I would use Elsie again without hesitation or go for Alda.

Our white shepherd who is nearly 13, is so beautiful, just been diagnosed with a tumour of spleen. It is a terrible loss you have experienced, we have been through

May I ask you how long did you wait in between getting the 4 or did you get them all at 1 time? I really want another one so bad but the one I have now is super attatched to me and already very, very protective of me and I’m just afraid that he’ll think I don’t love him as much anymore and maybe he’ll harm the new puppy out of jealousy, my big guy is only 2.
Sarah says
I had a very loyal and loving boy who was always waiting for me to come home and my shadow when I was. I got worried he might be lonely through the day when I was at work and got him a female, he nipped her when she first came home but after that they loved each other greatly and he would let her eat first, always come in from outside and give her a lick and they would sleep together with paws touching. I made sure they both knew they were loved and got equal me time. It’s easy to pay both at once making them both feel loved. My boy died last year and my girl is now sad without him and I will now be getting her another puppy for companionship.
Tori says
Get a girl and they will get along but usually socializing German Shepard is real important when owing 2 please try to get them at once next time so they can learn to get along. I brought 2 The same time and they still fight but live each other dearly so I’m hoping they can stay together forever and it’s crazy Because I have 3 boys and they both still protect me always

I had a white had, called Carla. When she was 5 I got a black Belgium shepherd, Carla passed at 15. Tannis my black girl, pinned so much she stripped her own fur. So I got her a play mate, again when she was 5. A boy called Taren (means tractor)., he is a sable. Tannis is very poorly and vets says she doesn’t have long, she is nearly 10. She has major health issues and recently had her spleen and a tumour the size of a football removed. On saturday we are collecting a new puppy, so that when Tannis does pass, Taren won’t be on his own when she is gone. Strangely enough he is nearly 5.

I helped my BFF name her GSD “STEELE” after the Pittsburgh Steelers, her favorite team. Thus far he has lived up to his name, he’s rough, tough and his bark alone will make you shiver. Protects the fam like a body guard.

Another great one would be Wuotanaz (Wotanaz) or Wuotan (Wotan) for short, Wuotanaz is one of many names for the North Germanic God “Odin”, and Wuotanaz is a very old name for him, coming from pre-christianity Germania.
