Meaning and background

The story behind Icicle

Icicle has a clear winter-object meaning in Cambridge: a pointed length of ice formed as dripping water freezes, often hanging from a surface. The dictionary also provides its three-syllable English reading. Those details give a dog’s name a specific shape and seasonal image. The source establishes the ordinary word, while any white-coat, winter-birthday, or personal story is an owner’s chosen association rather than personal-name etymology.

Association
English word for a pointed hanging formation of ice made by freezing drops of water. Source
