Meaning and background
The story behind Makki
Makki is found as a Muslim personal name and family name associated with Mecca. The Arabic adjective Makkī literally identifies a connection with Makkah, whether by origin, residence or religious association; surname dictionaries also mention its use as an honourific. That makes it a geographic association, not a statement about a dog’s temperament. In Britain the doubled k can help distinguish it from visually similar names such as Maki.
