Meaning and background

The story behind Speckle

Speckle has a visual word association with a small fleck, especially of color. Merriam-Webster also records the verb for marking something with such flecks or distributing things in that pattern. A dog owner may be recalling tiny markings or choosing a visual image they enjoy. The singular spelling Speckle can remain the full name even where the inspiration is a collection of spots, and no particular coat is required.
