A meaning other than yippee. just curious
Does anyone know how YAHOO came about obtaining their name and does it have a meaning?
Nope that is how they did it.
the creators when finishing the project's testing, finding out it worked, yelled, YahoooooO!!!!!!!!!! on a notice email.
That then, became the name

Reply:It started because Jerry Yang and David Filo (the founders) liked the word and its meaning. Jonathan Swift made up the word in Gulliver's Travels: "rude, unsophisticated, uncouth."
In Yahoo's case it is also an acronym for:
Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle
Reply:well the phrase "do you yahoo?" would sound funny with any other word
