The acronym "EDO" 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 Yahoo!

With the development of [[Edonoi|equal divisions of non-octave intervals (edonoi)]], some people started writing "ed2" ("ED2"), especially when naming a specific tuning.

Several alternate notations have been devised, including "edd" ("EDD"; equal division of the [[octave|ditave]]), "DIV," and "EQ".{{Citation needed|date=July 2021|reason=Who used this term?}}</sup>
