Meaning and background
The story behind Eclipse
Eclipse refers to the obscuring of a heavenly body's light by another, with an older Greek word history involving a failing or disappearance. That gives it a specific astronomical image rather than a general meaning of darkness. An owner might choose it for a memorable sky event or the contrast of light and shadow. Compare Eclipse with Comet if the space theme appeals but you want different kinds of celestial stories. The name does not depend on a dark coat to make that connection meaningful.
