Meaning and background
The story behind Macaroon
Macaroon is an English word for a sweet biscuit traditionally made with almonds or coconut. It shares part of its culinary history with French macaron, but the modern English dishes are usually distinguished. The English final syllable sounds like “roon”, not the French nasal ending of macaron. Both words make food-themed dog names, but neither warrants an invented personal-name etymology.
