(NEXSTAR) – It’s probably fair to say that the average American has eaten an Oreo cookie or two in their lifetime.
It’s also probably fair to say that the average American has no idea where the name “Oreo” actually came from.
The company that owns the Oreo brand — Mondelez International — does not appear keen on confirming the origins of the “Oreo” name, despite numerous opportunities for its media team and public relations department to do so. Fans, therefore, have only been able to speculate on the etymology.
