Meaning and background
The story behind Noche
Noche is the Spanish word for night, defined by the RAE as the period between sunset and dawn. The dictionary traces the word to Latin nox, noctis and also records figurative associations with darkness or sadness. An evening adoption, a night-sky interest or a dark coat could supply an owner’s particular reason for the name. That reason is personal, while the Spanish word and its history are directly documented.
