Mongrel or mongrel means a dog of mixed or unidentifiable breed; a mutt--
We don't want a pedigreed dog; we'd prefer a mongrel.
This mongrel is very clever, although he's funny-looking.
Mongol ( always capitalized ) describes someone or something from Mongolia--
He's making a film about the Mongol invasions of the Middle Ages.
The Mongol Empire was one of the largest empires in the world.
Now that you know that, you can say--
"He named his mongrel puppy "Genghis" after the famous Mongol emperor."
