Meaning and background
The story behind Leche
Leche is the everyday Spanish word for milk. It also occurs in food names such as café con leche, while Spanish dictionaries record figurative and regional senses that depend on the expression. As a dog name, the most defensible background is the direct Spanish food word, not a claim about the animal’s colouring or temperament. Spanish pronunciation is approximately LEH-cheh, with the “ch” sound of English church.
