195+ Witchy Dog Names with Magical, Mystical and Spooky Ideas

Witchy dog names can come from the moon, stars, night, herbs, fantasy worlds or direct magical vocabulary. The important part is distinguishing a real name meaning from a broader occult or aesthetic association.

The sections below keep celestial meanings, botanical inspiration, fantasy and witchcraft terms separate. That creates a useful magical shortlist without claiming every dark name means witch, every herb is a spell ingredient or every fantasy name has historical occult roots.
