Who are the Guanches?
The name "Guanche" refers to the aboriginal communities of the Canary Islands before the Spanish conquest in the 14th century. These people were of Berber origin; they arrived from North Africa thousands of years ago. Guanche names, then, are ancient and historically relevant; this makes them unique and especially meaningful, as they refer to a mostly lost culture.
The names we have collected are names of historical and mythological characters, and they form part of the heritage of the Canary Islands. If you want your dog to have an unusual name, a Guanche name can be a good option.
Before choosing a name for your pet
Before settling on a Guanche name for your dog you must take into account that a name's main function is to catch your pet's attention and make their training easier. A good name for a dog must fit these requirements:
- A dog's name shouldn't be too long, since that would complicate the dog's learning process.
- It also shouldn't be monosyllabic; a good name for a dog is two syllables long. If it's longer than that, it should be turned into a shorter nickname.
- Your dog's name shouldn't sound to similar to an order. If you call your dog Pitt, for instance, they might get confused with the order "sit".
Besides following these tips, you should also remember not to use your pet's name while angry during the training period, since the dog can grow to associate the name with something negative.
