What does Nash mean?
/næʃ/1 syllableOrigin: a surname

Nash began as an English surname meaning 'dweller by the ash tree,' formed from a misdivision of 'atten ash' ('at the ash') into 'a Nash' over time. It later became a popular given name in its own right.

Nash has a crisp, modern sound that suits an active, outdoorsy pet. It's short, easy to call, and has a bit of understated cool to it.
