Help I need an african name for a Rhodesian Ridgeback!?
"Khoikhoi" or "Simba Inja" in Ndebele or "Shumba Imbwa" in Shona (which both mean African Lion Dog). The Rhodesian Ridgeback dog is presently the only registered breed indigenous to Southern Africa. Its European forebears can be traced to the early pioneers of the Cape Colony of southern Africa where they crossed with the semi-domesticated, ridged hunting dogs of the Khoisan people (native name - "Khoikhoi")

You can search by heritage





(swahili, hewbrew, american, gaelic, celtic, german, etc. etc.)


just go to advanced search.


They give you the meaning of the name, so you can pick out a really good one.
Reply:I loved my Ridgeback, and miss her dearly.


Her name was Lady Azrael, which sounds beautiful, but actually meant "angel of death".





I found names in books with exotic names


perhaps go to a site for South Africa, or google for south african names?





good luck!


my ridge was one of a kind, and such a great dog!
Reply:Zeila means Red in Africa.
Reply:SIMBA! Hehe
Reply:You can always use the baby name searches. Which is what I use a lot of times to choose very different names or when I need a name that is moe out of the ordinary.
