Meaning and background
The story behind Trader
Trader is an English occupational word for someone who buys and sells goods, or works in financial markets. It is not automatically a historical surname or proof of an owner's profession. As a dog's name it has a direct, modern workaday association and a steady two-part sound. The actual word meaning is well attested, unlike invented claims about being adventurous or trustworthy.
