What Does iPod Stand For?

The word iPod doesn’t exactly stand for anything, at least in the sense that it’s not completely an acronym.

iPod is a made up word, but that doesn’t mean that the name doesn’t have a meaning. The name breaks down into two sections, “i” and “pod.” There are lots of theories about what it stands for.

Listed below are some of the theories:

• Interactive Portable Open Database
• Internet Portable Outdoor Device.
• Internet Portable Open Database (named after the iMac)
• Internet Personal Office Device
