Meaning and background
The story behind Moony
Moony offers several moon-related images in English. Merriam-Webster records a relation to the Moon, crescent and round full-moon shapes, moonlit conditions and a dreamy figurative sense. A crescent marking, night-time memory or lunar interest can therefore explain the choice for a dog. The intended image should be identified, since the word’s several senses do not form one inherited personal-name meaning or determine an animal’s personality.
