Meaning and background
The story behind Pierogi
Pierogi is the Polish plural of pieróg, a filled dumpling. English commonly uses the Polish plural form when talking about the food, usually associated with savoury fillings. As a dog name it is a distinctive food reference, not a word meaning 'cute' or 'little'. The ending can be more demanding for English speakers than the simple two-syllable names around it.
