Meaning and background
The story behind Birch
Birch takes its name from a familiar northern tree, often recognised by pale bark. The English word reaches back to Old English beorc or berc, with closely related forms in other Germanic languages. The Online Etymology Dictionary also notes connections to an ancient root referring to brightness or whiteness, reflecting the bark, but a dog named Birch need not be a particular colour. It is a clear one-syllable nature name.
