Tuning theorists first used the term "equal temperament" for edos designed to approximate [[Low-complexity JI|low-complexity just intervals]]. The same term is still used today for all rank-1 [[Regular temperament|temperaments]]. For example, [[15edo]] can be referred to as 15-tone equal temperament (15-TET, 15-tET, 15tet, etc.), or more simply 15 equal temperament (15-ET, 15et, etc.).

The acronym "EDO" (''EE-dee-oh'') was coined by [[Daniel Anthony Stearns]] in 1999, originally standing for "equidistant divisions of the octave"<ref>https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_65#65 ~~and~~ https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_117#117</ref>. More recently, the [[Wikipedia: Anacronym|anacronym]] "edo" (''EE-doh''), spelled in lowercase, has become increasingly widespread.

With the development of [[Edonoi|equal divisions of non-octave intervals (edonoi)]], some people started writing "ed2" ("ED2"), especially when naming a specific tuning. Furthermore, in order to distinguish equal pitch division from [[EFD|equal frequency division]] and [[ELD|equal length division]], "epd" ("EPD") is sometimes used in place of "ed" ("ED").
