What does “Enzo” mean?
The current speculation is that it came from the condition code bits on a 8080 microcomputer – Even_Parity, Negative, Zero, Overflow. Answer from people who work for the show: Not bad, not bad…but not true, either. Fact is, the name Enzo has no hidden meaning – the character was a late addition to the show, and when it came time to choose a name, somebody suggested Enzo and it stuck. I think I like your explanation better… Yet another bogus retronym comes from Byte magazine, April 1990: U.S. Sage (Longwood, FL) has developed a chip that incorporates most Ethernet hardware functions. The company hopes that PC makers will user the Ethernet Needing Zero Overhead (ENZO) chips on their motherboards. And in Italy, Enzo is a nicname for Vincenzo.
