What does Bagel mean?
/ˈbeɪ̯.ɡəl/

Bagel takes its name straight from the bread: a chewy, ring-shaped roll that's boiled before it's baked, a technique that gives it its dense, glossy crust. The word entered English from Yiddish beygl, related to a Germanic root meaning bow or ring, describing the loaf's circular shape.

It's a name with built-in charm and a little humor, perfect for a round, food-loving companion or one with a coat the color of a fresh-baked bagel. Playful without trying too hard, it suits a dog with an easygoing, food-motivated personality.
