Meaning and background

The story behind Lyric

Lyric is a modern English name taken from the music word lyric, associated with songs and words set to music. The underlying adjective reaches back to Greek lyrikos, relating to the lyre. Unlike an inherited Gaelic or Latin given name, this is an English vocabulary choice with an established modern naming use. It suits owners interested in music without suggesting that any dog is naturally musical.
