Meaning and background
The story behind Sonnet
A sonnet is a tightly structured poem, traditionally fourteen lines long and written in a recognised rhyme pattern. The literary term comes from Italian sonetto, literally “little song”. That is a word history, rather than proof that Sonnet was originally a personal name. As a dog name it has a light, lyrical rhythm and can suggest a fondness for poetry without presuming anything about the owner.
