Meaning and background
The story behind Memo
Memo is a straightforward English word-name drawn from memorandum, an official or informal written note used to pass information. The familiar two-syllable form is easy to say and lends itself to a literary or office-themed pet name. Memo is also reported as a nickname in other languages, but reliable reference material for the precise personal-name derivations is insufficient here. The documented English noun is the safer basis for a factual profile.
- Meaning
- Short form of memorandum: a written note or message, particularly within an organisation. Source
