About Munson
Munson is an English surname of Scandinavian origin, derived from "Magnus" (Latin for "great") via medieval Norse settlements in northern England. It carries weight in current pop culture as the surname of Eddie Munson in Stranger Things season 4 - the long-haired, charismatic D&D club leader and metalhead whose musical climax (a Master of Puppets guitar solo from atop a trailer) is one of the show's most-watched scenes. As a dog name Munson fits dramatic, dark, long-coated breeds; carries a rocker / outlaw register that suits Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, or any breed where the dramatic flair matches the dog.
