215+ Disney Character Names: Dive Into the Magical World of Your Favorite Heroes and Villains!

Disney Character Names - Disney Princesses


If you’re looking for a name for your pet or even your baby, Disney character names can be a great source of ideas. Just by browsing the Disney+ library, you’ll find endless inspiration.

Disney has a vast range of characters to choose from. This includes their animated films, Pixar movies, live-action films, and even their acquired franchises like Star Wars and Marvel. With such a wide variety, it’s almost certain you’ll find a name you love.

Here are some of the top Disney character names to consider.

Disney Character Names for Dogs

If you’re a Disney fan, one of the best ways to remember your favorite movies is naming a pet after a great character. There’s no shortage of names to consider.

You could go with something unique, where people will instantly know where the name came from. Or you could go with something more commonplace to make the homage more subtle. For example, if you named a dog Ellie, people wouldn’t immediately know you named her after the Disney movie Up.

Here are some great dog names that aren’t necessarily dogs themselves.

Abu (Aladdin)
Jafar (Aladdin)
Raja (Aladdin)
Chip (Beauty and the Beast)
Gaston (Beauty and the Beast)
LeFou (Beauty and the Beast)
Baymax (Big Hero 6)

Mochi was originally a cat, but it makes a great dog name as well!

Lena (DuckTales)
Webby (DuckTales)
Dumbo (Dumbo)
Olaf (Frozen)

Disney Princess Names

According to Disney, there are 12 official Disney princesses, 14 if you include Anna and Elsa. Raya has not yet been officially inducted, but we’ve included her here because we don’t think it’ll be long before she gets added.

Here are the names of all the Disney princesses.

Disney Prince Names

Whether through lineage or marriage, these characters became the official Disney princes.

And villains like Prince Hans? They don’t make the official cut. While a Disney princess doesn’t need a prince (looking at you, Elsa, Merida, Moana, and Raya), there are no Disney princes without a prince.
