Excuse me, how did the name Dunhou come from?

Yahoo means someone with a little cultural level. So some users make unfounded guesses to solve intangible problems.

Jerry Yang, a graduate student, recalled that when he started Yahoo with his partners in his own time, I thought it was not only easier to remember the company name, but also shorter to avoid typing fatigue. They finally found the good name "Yahoo". The establishment of Yahoo, the development of the company, and finally they added an exclamation point behind Yahoo, which is now Yahoo.

Let's take a look at the dialogue between Yahoo founder Jerry Yang Zhiyuan and Ferro.

Yahoo origin name

"Ya ─"

"Ya ─"

"Ya ─"

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah."

“Yataghan？”

"Yes, this is a Turkish short knife with double edges and a handle."

"Yataghan is too long."

"What about the Yankees?" ?

“Yapok？”

"Yad Byrd?"

Ferro and Zhiyuan want to take them to create something with a loud name, but it has been several hours, and it is still zero. Now, they have decided that there is no progress except prefix. After determining the prefix, I think there will be at least a certain degree of reduction, which is not the case.

“Yauld”

"complaining"

"Code number"

"Yang (Yang)"

"Ha ha, Yang, that's interesting."

Teenager is Zhiyuan's surname. When they are students majoring in computer science, many software tools they use begin with the prefix "erya", which is usually a compound word. YA stands for "another", the most famous YA tool YACC, which means "another C compiler" (another C compiler). YACC Zhiyuan and David are both great names, but they were used for the first time and decided to come up with a better name.

Yawning, rap, yaws, y axis.

"y axis"

"Sorry, it's the Y axis."

"Y axis, like your yawn, makes people want to yawn."

Finally, someone had a flash of light: "What about Yahoo?"

Yahoo? "

Webster's "Yahoo" can be Gulliver's Travels of Little People, and Yahoo means all kinds of savage lower creatures. Frankly speaking, what they designed doesn't match the above, but online self-mockery has always been popular, so Yahoo is obviously a good name, but Yahoo can also be interpreted as "however, another level in Oracle Bone Inscriptions is nosy" (another formal grading system). Finally, Yahoo was born.
