Meaning and background
The story behind Itachi
Itachi has a documented Naruto association through Itachi Uchiha. The official franchise site's character retrospective describes him as a gifted ninja whose childhood experience of war shaped his desire for peace. It also emphasizes his complicated loyalties to his brother and village. Those details give Itachi a concrete story reference for a fan choosing a dog name. The retrospective establishes the character, but it does not translate the name or explain all real-world uses of the spelling.
