Meaning and background
The story behind Utopia
Utopia entered English through the title of Thomas More's 1516 work about an imagined island society. More constructed the name from Greek elements meaning 'no place' or 'nowhere', while allowing a pun on 'good place'. The modern word often means an ideal society, which is a later, related usage rather than the whole original joke. That double reading gives the dog name a genuinely literary background.
