Meaning and background
The story behind Equinox
Equinox offers a precise seasonal and astronomical association. Merriam-Webster describes the times when the Sun crosses the equator and day and night have approximately equal lengths. Its word history connects Latin elements for equality and night. A birthday, adoption date or interest in astronomy could motivate the choice for a dog. The seasonal event supplies the naming story; the dictionary does not claim an older personal-name tradition.
