Cujo Origin and Meaning

The name Cujo is a boy's name .

Stephen King chose the name Cujo for the rabid St. Bernard character in his 1981 novel by the same name. He based the name off of the alias of William Lawton Wolfe, "Kahjoh", which the media misspelled as Cujo. Wolfe was a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army and one of the people responsible for kidnapping Patty Hearst.

Cujo has — thankfully — never made the ranks as a baby name, but it is used for dogs.
