The thing is, the White Fang is named such as a reference to the Jack London novel White Fang, about a wolf-dog that goes through all kinds of abuse and turns vicious and cunning.

Out of universe, their name still makes a lot of sense.

In universe... A white fang is a fang that hasn't been stained with blood. But also, a fang being visual is considered a threat - fangs tend to become visible right before an animal bites you, and wolves and dogs tend to bare their fangs as a warning.
