Meaning and background
The story behind Xen
Xen has a documented technology association with the Xen Project’s open-source virtualization software. The project’s own account explains its name through Greek xenos and a play on guest operating systems and guest-friendship, and gives a pronunciation like zen. This is unusually direct evidence for a software project’s naming choice. It does not establish that every personal name written Xen has that Greek origin or shares the project’s pronunciation.
