Meaning and background
The story behind Peluche
Peluche is a Spanish word for plush material or a cuddly toy. Collins records both senses, including use in the phrase for a stuffed toy. That gives the spelling a direct soft-texture or toy-animal association for a pet nickname. The connection is ordinary Spanish vocabulary rather than a verified traditional given-name origin, and a household’s comparison with a particular dog remains its own affectionate interpretation.
