Meaning and background
The story behind Oro
Oro is the ordinary Spanish word for gold. The same spelling is also a word in Italian, but those lexical facts alone do not establish where a particular pet's name came from. The metal sense is straightforward and should not be embellished into a claim about prosperity or character. With two open vowel sounds and a repeated 'o', Oro has a short, distinct sound when called.
