Origin:Slavic
Meaning:Black
Sable is a Slavic gender-neutral name synonymous with the color of the night sky. Sable means “black” and is also the name of a graceful mammal found in the forests of northern Asia. Inspired by the creature's distinctive coloring, Sable became increasingly used as a description for many other dark-furred breeds—including cats, rabbits, and the ever-loyal German Shepherd. As solitary mammals, the sables of northern Asia are fiercely independent and intelligent, so they can thrive in any environment. Whether you wish to celebrate baby's resilience or encourage them to love animals as much as you do, Sable will no doubt leave a lingering impression.
