Have you ever wondered what EOS stands for? If you are in the world of crypto, blockchain and decentralization, you’ve seen this captivating brand stand out among them all. We have discovered the true meaning behind EOS.
Like everything great on the Internet, there's been plenty of mystery and speculation behind its meaning.
According to the Block.one team, the makers of EOS.IO:
“We believe that EOS means different things to different people. We have received numerous amazing interpretations of what EOS stands for or what it should stand for so we have decided not to formally define it ourselves.”
The Internet loves puzzles like this. Very smart people in the blockchain industry have declared:
Enterprise Operating System
Economy Operating System
These answers sound plausible, until you recall EOS is the name of the token, not to be confused with EOS.IO Software, the open source technology for developers. That rules out "operating system".
We have also seen these clever suggestions:
Evolution Of Scalability
Ethereum On Steroids
There’s a rumor that Dan Larimer, the CTO and Co-Creator of EOS, said one of those phrases in public. We’ll let you guess which one it was.
Finally, a super fan claims he found the answer:
Enter Our Savior
You might be laughing, but the fact is, this is the closest to the truth. EOS is more like a god than some code. Let us explain…
Just like Neo realized there is no spoon, there is no acronym.
EOS is actually Eos, the Greek Goddess of the Dawn. (See Everipedia). A new day, a new beginning. Get it?
Yes, that would mean EOS is female.
EOS Dawn was named intentionally. What's more, the EOS logo is called a chestahedron, which is the sacred geometric form that underlies the structure of the human heart. The shape that fits inside of this figure is called a decatria. When the decatria is at the core of the chestahedron, it forms the logo for shEOS.

Enlightened Operating System (EOS). Interesting how this article and launch of EOS was about the beginning of Crystal's pregnancy... is the baby going to have EOS in the name? https://www.babycenter.com/babyNamerSearch.htm?gender=UNKNOWN&includeExclude=ALL&includeLimit=100&excludeLimit=100&meaning=&origin=&theme=&startsWith=&endsWith=&containing=eos&numberOfSyllables=&sort=
