Meaning and background

The story behind Luz

Luz is a Spanish feminine name taken from the everyday noun for “light”. It also relates to the religious title Nuestra Señora de la Luz, or Our Lady of Light. Pronunciation depends on dialect: the final sound is a “th” in much of Spain and an “s” in Latin America. Those details give Luz a precise, useful background without making claims about a dog’s disposition.
