Etymology

Yahoo as the name of the internet company was chosen by its founders in 1994 because they liked the short, joyful shout 'yahoo!' and playfully turned it into the acronym Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle; that excited, discovery feeling helps you remember it is a place for news, email and other information.
