Meaning and background
The story behind Wisp
Wisp is an English word for a small, thin bundle or strand, often heard in phrases such as a wisp of smoke or a wisp of hair. It also appears in the older expression will-o'-the-wisp, associated with wandering lights and folklore. Neither sense proves that a dog is tiny or has wispy fur. Its short, single-syllable sound makes it a distinctly light-looking nature or imagery name rather than a traditional personal name.
