Meaning and background
The story behind Monday
Monday can preserve a simple date-related story in a dog's name. Merriam-Webster identifies the day between Sunday and Tuesday, so an arrival, adoption or memorable meeting on that day supplies a clear personal association. The source documents the calendar word rather than proving the circumstances of any particular pet's naming. No separate language-origin claim is added here beyond that supported day-of-the-week connection.
