Meaning and background
The story behind Tempest
Tempest is a literary word for a violent storm, arriving in English through French from Latin tempestas. Shakespeare also made The Tempest a familiar title, although the play is an association rather than a name origin. Tempest can sound dramatic on a collar tag without suggesting anything definite about a dog’s behaviour.
