The name ``Emacs'' was originally chosen as an abbreviation of Editor
MACroS. 


The original Emacs implementation was written for the Incompatible
Timesharing System (ITS) as a collection of TECO macros for ITS TECO. There
was a custom of giving such macro packages names ending in ``mac'' or
``macs''. A further reason for choosing this particular name was that the
abbreviation ``e'' was unused at the time on ITS.
