Meaning and background
The story behind Lunchbox
Lunchbox is an everyday English object name: a box or container used to carry a packed lunch. Oxford lists the usual spelling as two words, lunch box, whereas this dog-name form closes them together. It is deliberately quirky rather than an inherited personal name. British owners may picture a school lunch box, which makes the reference immediately understandable without any fabricated folklore.
