Meaning and background

The story behind Trail

Trail is a path, a route through open country, or the marks left by something moving. The related verb means to follow, often with a clue or scent. Both uses make sense alongside a dog's outdoor life, but that is a cultural association rather than a forecast of behaviour. This is a direct English word name rather than a traditional inherited forename.

Meaning
A track or path, or a mark left by movement; as a verb, to follow. Source
