Meaning and background
The story behind Posie
Posie is a visually distinctive spelling beside posy, the familiar English noun for a small bouquet of flowers. The word also once denoted a short motto or inscription, especially on a ring, and derives from an altered form of poesy. That older literary sense gives this seemingly simple flower name some depth. It does not prove that every modern use of Posie as a personal or canine name came directly from the historical noun.
