Meaning and background
The story behind Biscotti
Biscotti is the Italian plural of biscotto, a baked biscuit or sweet. Its historical root lies in medieval Latin biscoctus, literally “twice cooked”, a reference to a method of drying baked goods for keeping. English use often means the crunchy, elongated Italian biscuits served with coffee. As a pet name, Biscotti suggests food rather than an inherited given name; the plural form is a grammatical detail worth preserving.
