Meaning and background
The story behind Azeitona
Azeitona is the ordinary Portuguese word for an olive, the fruit of the olive tree. It is not the name of a separate Portuguese flower or colour. The word has a longer history through Arabic, and the rhythm of its four written syllables makes it distinctive as a pet name. Any association with an olive-coloured coat would be a personal choice, not part of the word’s etymology.
