Meaning and background
The story behind Caramelo
Caramelo has a clear Spanish food and color association. The RAE dictionary records melted and hardened sugar, sweets made from it, and a brown color resembling caramelized sugar. It also includes an appealing person or thing as a figurative use. A favorite sweet or a caramel-colored coat can therefore give the name a specific household meaning. These are documented word senses rather than proof of one traditional personal-name origin.
