YAHOO is actually an acronym, which is why it's capitalized in the logo. Per wikipedia "The word "yahoo" is a backronym for "Yet Another Hierarchically Organized Oracle"[30] or "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle".[31] The term "hierarchical" described how the Yahoo database was arranged in layers of subcategories. The term "oracle" was intended to mean "source of truth and wisdom", and the term "officious", rather than being related to the word's normal meaning, described the many office workers who would use the Yahoo database while surfing from work"
