Yahoo!
ヤフー
When two Stanford Ph.d. students, David Filo and Jerry Yang first developed and launched their "Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web" in 1994, Yang was using his student workstation named "Akebono," while Filo was managing the search engine on his computer called "Konishiki." Yahoo! was simply their favorite words, though some believe it's an acronym for "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle." You can find its original meaning inGulliver's Travels.
ス タンフォード博士課程の院生ジェ リー・ヤング氏がモザイク(1993年登場)にハマって勉強そっちのけで作ったお気に入りページのリストに、同博士 課程デイビッド・フィロ氏が検索ソフトを開発してあげてウェブに公開したのが同社の始まり。'94年後半には「ジェリーとデビッドのWWWガイド」とい う、その まんまな名前でデビュー、投資家の目に止まった。
AKEBONOはジェリー・ヤン氏のワークステーション、 KONISHIKIはデビッド・ファイロ氏が検索エンジンを搭載したマシンの愛称だ。「ヤフー」は2人の好きな言葉から取ったが、「Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle(またまた登場、余計なお世話な分類体系型ご神託）」の頭文字という説もある。初出「ガリバー旅行記」 の比較的新しい言葉。
