Meaning and background
The story behind Peppers
Peppers is the plural spelling associated with pepper and its plant or spice senses. Merriam-Webster distinguishes black and white pepper from several other pungent plant products and records the underlying climbing plants. This gives the name a concrete kitchen or garden reference rather than one universal color. A household should identify the particular food or plant image intended instead of treating a spicy personality as an established personal-name translation.
