Meaning and background
The story behind Ibis
Ibis brings a bird association with a specific outline: Merriam-Webster describes a wading bird distinguished by its slender, downward-curving bill. The entry allows both ibis and ibises as plurals, while Ibis remains the singular spelling chosen here. A dog owner may intend a birdwatching memory or the name's sound. The dictionary supports the animal-word connection without making a mythological or historical personal-name claim.
