What does Dallas mean?
/ˈdæləs/2 syllablesOrigin: place-name transfer

Dallas started as a Scottish place-name and surname, likely built from Brythonic Celtic elements meaning "meadow" or "water-meadow" and "dwelling" or "abode." It later became widely known as the name of the Texas city, and from there entered use as a given name.

Dallas has a confident, wide-open sound, fitting for a pet with a big personality and an easy swagger.
