Meaning and background
The story behind Mando
Mando is used by official Star Wars material for the Mandalorian, Din Djarin. A StarWars.com article discussing The Star Wars Book explicitly uses both names while describing his home before rescue by Death Watch. That makes the nickname connection concrete for a dog named after the character. The source supports this fictional shorthand rather than a separate traditional given-name meaning derived from Mando's letters.
