Meaning and background
The story behind Yellow
Yellow is the ordinary English colour word, linked to such familiar shades as lemons, butter and egg yolks. It can naturally serve as a descriptive dog name for a golden or pale coat, although not every dog called Yellow will have that colouring. Some English figurative senses are negative, so those should not be confused with the straightforward colour sense. The name's immediate recognition comes from everyday vocabulary rather than personal-name history.
