Meaning and background
The story behind Yogurt
Yogurt has a food association with a cultured, fermented milk preparation. Merriam-Webster also records yoghurt as a less common spelling, while this catalogue keeps the shorter form without h. A dog owner may intend a kitchen memory or a private joke rather than a particular color. The dictionary establishes the culinary word and spelling relationship; it does not supply a traditional personal-name origin or a feeding recommendation.
