Meaning and background
The story behind Kola
Kola is recorded by Merriam-Webster as a variant spelling of cola. Following that explicit reference leads to the carbonated drink, usually caramel-colored and flavored with extracts from kola nuts. This gives the spelling a supported beverage association for a dog named after a favorite drink or a food theme. It does not establish the meaning of every personal name spelled Kola, which may have a separate cultural or family history.
