What does Apple mean?
/ˈæp.əl/2 syllablesOrigin: English

Apple is simply the English word for the familiar round fruit — one of the oldest words in the language, going back to Old English æppel. It has occasionally been used as a given name, but its meaning stays entirely tied to the fruit itself.

Apple is crisp, cheerful, and a little playful — a natural fit for a pet with a sweet disposition or a coat in warm red, green, or golden tones.
