Manao5267yI'm not sure if Mongo DB is a well choosen name. In Germany the term 'Mongo' is used as a insult. 😓

@Manao What does it mean? I'm guessing it is in the same vein as the dutch word mongol meaning retard?

unDone1467y@Manao there are so many languages in the world, with so many words, that it is really difficult to find a name that is not silly/stupid/funny/offensive etc. in all of them. One time I found a website that searches a queried name in other languages, and if it exists, gives english translation.

My guess is that "mongo" is derived from the word "humongous".
since their slogan is "MongoDB for GIANT ideas".
