Meaning and background
The story behind Crumpet
Crumpet refers to a griddle-cooked cake, but its deeper derivation is not settled: the reference discusses competing explanations rather than one firm origin. The familiar food sense is enough to support a cosy naming association. An owner may prefer it to the broader Biscuit because the particular food brings a memory or sense of humour. Its fuller spelling also gives it a distinctive presence on a tag. Keep the culinary explanation separate from unrelated slang senses or assumptions about a dog's body shape.
