Meaning and background
The story behind Guero
Guero can be associated with Mexican Spanish güero, which the RAE and ASALE dictionary uses for a blond-haired person. The dictionary spelling includes a diaeresis over the u, a distinction worth preserving when explaining the connection. This source supports a regional word association rather than a universal origin for Guero as a personal name. A dog need not have a particular coat colour for an owner to choose the spelling.
- Association
