Meaning and background
The story behind Steel
Steel has a concrete material reference: Merriam-Webster defines the iron alloy containing carbon and records related uses for implements made from it. The spelling can therefore suggest metalwork, tools, or a steel blade when chosen as a dog's name. Those are associations with an English word, rather than evidence that every personal or family name Steel arose from the same source.
