114 Chihuahua Names

Whether you recently welcomed a Chihuahua puppy into your family or adopted an adult Chihuahua or Chihuahua mix, you’re probably looking forward to choosing the perfect name for your new pet. The Chihuahua is the smallest member of the purebred dog world. Chihuahuas were discovered in Mexico, in the state of Chihuahua (hence their name). They likely have ancient origins, dating back to the time of the Aztecs.
