Meaning and background
The story behind Naro
Naro has an Italian habitational surname history from a place in Agrigento province, Sicily. The dictionary also records an Americanized French Noreau form. Those are different geographical and spelling routes into the same modern name. For a dog called Naro, a family connection may identify the intended background. The short spelling can be preserved without inventing a single literal meaning that neither of these independent accounts requires.
