Meaning and background
The story behind Peach
Peach names a fruit, its tree, and a yellowish-pink color. Merriam-Webster also records a figurative sense for someone or something admired for sweetness, beauty, or excellence. The spelling therefore offers more than a food reference: a color or affectionate conversational comparison is also documented. Those ordinary-word associations can explain a pet name without proving a separate inherited name origin or a particular dog’s temperament.
