Meaning and background
The story behind Macchiato
Macchiato is a coffee name borrowed from Italian. A language reference records caffè macchiato as coffee with a little milk, and the underlying Italian word means marked or stained. Oxford gives a familiar British English pronunciation. For a dog it is a food-and-drink association, not an Italian personal name, and the everyday coffee connection can be explained without guessing an ancient root.
