Meaning and background
The story behind Coqui
Coqui refers to a small, mainly nocturnal tree-dwelling frog native to Puerto Rico. Merriam-Webster identifies it as Eleutherodactylus coqui, notes its high-pitched call and records introductions to Hawaii and southern Florida. A dog named Coqui can recall the animal, its sound or a connection with Puerto Rico. This supplies a specific natural-history association, while the dictionary’s animal definition does not establish a personal-name translation.
