Meaning and background

The story behind Union

Union is an English noun for the joining of things or people, the resulting combination, or an organised association such as a trade union. It developed through Latin words based on *unus*, 'one'. The term can also occur in political and geographical names, but those uses are context-dependent rather than the name's automatic meaning. As a dog name it is an abstract noun with two or three distinct common senses.

Meaning
The joining or combination of two or more things; also an organised association. Source
Origin
English via Church Latin unio, “oneness”, from Latin unus, “one”. Source
