The Story Behind Arduino
The name Arduino is derived from the Old Germanic elements *hardu* meaning "hard, brave, strong" and *win* meaning "friend." It was a relatively common name in medieval Italy, particularly in the northern regions. The most famous historical bearer is Arduino of Ivrea, who was King of Italy in the early 11th century. While the name itself has ancient roots, its modern recognition is largely due to the open-source electronics platform, which was named after a bar in Ivrea, Italy, where its founders used to meet. This has given the name a contemporary association with technology and innovation.
