Tu Kōd Names

To Code, Tu Kōd, Tukod and TuKod

Here is the story about why we have the four names, To Code, Tu Kōd, Tukod and TuKod?

To Code

The original idea for TuKod.com was from a post on aLanTait.net called:

“To Code” the New Atahualpa WordPress Theme

It was just an idea to branch the Atahualpa theme… Something “To Code” in the future.  The response to the idea was pretty good actually…  And people began thinking “To Code” would be the new name of the theme.

We actually tossed it around for awhile, however ToCode.com was already being used…

Tu Kōd

Now I really like NuEnglish, so I went to their Respeller and typed in “To Code”.  What it gave me was “Tu Kōd“!

Tukod

Tukod, as it turns out, is a Bisaya word that means to support.  Just like a plugin or theme supports WordPress, or like a dating site supports singles who desire to be couples, or like a healthy lifestyle site supports people who are ill.  Actually tukod was pretty much a perfect match for what we needed!
