Meaning and background
The story behind Mighty
Mighty is a direct descriptive word choice. Merriam-Webster records power, imposing size or extent and an extraordinary degree. A very small dog could receive it as affectionate exaggeration, while an energetic larger dog might inspire a more straightforward comparison. Those judgments belong to the owner rather than the dictionary. The source supports the English adjective and does not make it a traditional name predicting strength or temperament.
