Meaning and background
The story behind Quince
Quince has a distinctive orchard association. Merriam-Webster identifies the fruit of Cydonia oblonga and the tree bearing it, describing a hard yellow apple-like fruit often used in preserves. A household may choose it for a garden or recipe memory rather than a generic sweet-food theme. The source documents the fruit word, without implying a traditional given-name origin or any required resemblance in the dog.
