Meaning and background
The story behind Fable
Fable is an English word for an invented narrative, including stories intended to communicate a useful lesson. Merriam-Webster specifically includes tales in which animals speak and act like people, along with supernatural legendary stories. That animal-story connection offers a concrete literary association for a dog’s name. The evidence supports the common word’s meanings, without identifying one particular book as the source of every pet named Fable.
