The name "pug" is believed to be derived from the Latin word "pugnus," meaning "fist," which refers to the breed's compact shape resembling a clenched fist. Another theory suggests it comes from the 16th-century term "pug," used to describe a small, mischievous creature or a monkey, reflecting their playful personality. The breed has a long history, with connections to ancient China and later popularity in Europe, especially among nobility.
