Operating system: Linux: Editor: Emacs: History: Meaning: What is the 
meaning of Emacs?

EMacs = Editor MACroS

(because the original version of Emacs was written as a (macro)
extension to an early text editor called TECO).

Emacs is originally developed by Richard Stallman, the founder of the 
GNU
project.
