Meaning and background
The story behind Harmony
Harmony comes directly from an English word used for musical agreement and concord between parts. That word is ultimately related to Greek harmonia. As a dog's name it has three clear syllables, so it can be said at full length or shortened in everyday conversation. Its dictionary sense is a meaning of the word, not a prediction about a dog's temperament.
