What does Scooby mean?

Scooby is inseparable from Scooby-Doo, the lovable, cowardly Great Dane at the center of the animated mystery franchise that began in 1969. The character's name has since become shorthand for a goofy, food-motivated dog with more heart than courage.

It's a warm, funny choice for a pet with big ears, a bigger appetite, and a habit of hiding behind the nearest human when things get spooky. Scooby is pure comic charm.
