Meaning and background
The story behind Corona
Corona has several documented associations involving rings, crowns and light. Merriam-Webster includes a colored circle near a luminous body and the outermost atmosphere of a star, as well as architectural and botanical senses. A household might choose it for a sun-related dog's name, but the spelling does not force that interpretation. The source establishes the word's range rather than one settled personal-name origin.
