What does Dash mean?
1 syllableOrigin: a surname

Dash is a word name taken straight from the English verb and noun meaning a quick, sudden movement or short sprint — the same word behind the punctuation mark and the phrase "a dash of" something, meaning a small quick addition.

Energetic and quick-witted, Dash is a natural fit for a pet who's always first out the door and never walks when they could run.
