Meaning and background

The story behind Wrangler

Wrangler has more than one established English sense. It may describe someone who argues, but in North American ranching it commonly means a person responsible for handling or herding horses or cattle. The latter meaning gives it a distinctly western flavour, though the surname or nickname route for any individual dog is unknown. It also appears as a clothing brand, which is a modern commercial association rather than the historical origin of the common noun.

Meaning
English noun: one who quarrels or, particularly in western North America, a person who tends, herds or handles livestock. Source
