Meaning and background
The story behind Yarrow
Yarrow is an English name for a familiar flowering herb, especially common yarrow, Achillea millefolium. Its clusters of small pale flowers and feathery leaves provide a specific botanical association, although choosing the word for a dog does not imply any medicinal use. Yarrow also appears independently as a place or family name. The plain plant-name reading is the one securely supported by the dictionary, and it suits owners who favour understated nature names.
