Meaning and background

The story behind Macaron

Macaron is the French word adopted into English for the colourful almond-based confection usually assembled from two light shells with a filling between. The French Academy traces macaron back to an Italian food word, though modern English distinguishes a macaron from a coconut or almond macaroon. As a dog name it is plainly food-inspired and has no documented ancient forename translation.

Meaning
A small almond-based sweet, commonly two meringue shells joined by a cream filling. Source
Origin
French food word macaron, borrowed historically from southern Italian maccarone. Source
