Meaning and background
The story behind Volt
Volt can give a dog's name a science association. Merriam-Webster records the unit of electrical potential difference, while also retaining separate fencing and horse-movement senses. A lively dog may inspire an owner's electricity metaphor, but that is not a measurement or prediction. The dictionary supports these alternative word contexts rather than one traditional personal-name meaning, so the intended scientific or sporting connection is useful to state.
