===Ammonite:=== 
Origin: 2011, Ryan Avella, Gene Smith, KEENAN PEPPER
Meaning: KEENAN PEPPER suggested it was a good name of a weird spiral-shaped animal, for a temperament in the porcupine family (like nautilus)

===Avila:=== 
Origin: 2011, Mike Battaglia, Ron Sword, Ryan Avella
Meaning: Originally discovered by Ryan by accident while he was reading the mapping for Mavila temperament incorrectly. It is the original spelling of Ryan's surname.

===Beatles===
Named for the 19\64 generator, since 1964 is the year the Beatlemania swept the world.

===Blackwood:=== 
Origin: Middle-Path or Pre-Middle-Path
Meaning: Named after Easley Blackwood's 10-out-of-15 maximally even scale.

===Catler===
Named for [[Jon Catler]].

===Dicot:=== 
Meaning: 3/2 is divided into 2 equal parts, hence "di-". Not sure why "-cot". "-Cot" has been suggested to originate from 'cotyledon,' the name for the embryo of a plant seed.

Avella: well apparently someone decided that "cot" should refer to the fifth
Avella: it is arbitrary

===Dominant:=== 
Meaning: It's meantone which calls the dominant seventh chord a 4:5:6:7. It is one of the least complex 7-limit extensions of meantone.

===Doublewide===
Named after a type of mobile home.

===Ennealimmal:=== 
Origin: Gene Smith
Meaning: Ennealimmal has a 1/9-octave period, hence "ennea-"; the period is very close to the large limma, [[27_25|27/25]], hence "limmal".

===Ervsec:=== 
Origin: 1980s?
Meaning: Attributed to the scale discovered by Erv Wilson and George Secor while George was visiting Erv.

===Father:=== 
Origin: 2000s?
Meaning: A combination of the words "fourth" and "third." This is meant to represent the unification of perfect fourths and major thirds in Father temperament.

===Flattone:=== 
Origin: Gene Smith
Meaning: A variant of meantone in which the whole tone is flatter than in septimal meantone.

===Glacial:=== 
Origin: 2012, Igliashon Jones, Mike Battaglia
Meaning: Glacial sounds like "Igliashon."

===Godzilla:=== 
Named by Gene Smith after a Japanese fictional monster; part of the daikaiju series of names for temperaments with an approximate 8/7 as generator.

===Hanson:=== 
Larry Hanson's 34-edo guitar (9\34 generator)

===Hedgehog:=== 
So named because it is in the PORCUPINE family, but different.

===Helmholtz:=== 
So named because Hermann von Helmholtz proposed 1/8-schisma flattened fifths.

===Injera:=== 
Origin: Paul Erlich
Meaning: Named after an Ethiopian flatbread because 26edo represents it well, and the Ethiopian alphabet has 26 consonants.

===Jamesbond===
Named from the fact that the wedgie is <<0 0 7 ...||

===Mabila:=== 
Origin: 2011, Gene Smith, Ryan Avella
Meaning: Named after Mavila temperament due to their similar tunings and scale structure.

===Machine:=== 
Mike Battaglia named it because it sounded like a 4:7:9:11 machine.

===**Magic**:=== 
Origin: Graham Breed
The "mag-" prefix stands for "major third."

===Mavila:=== 
Origin: 1990s? Kraig Grady
Meaning: Named after the Chopi village of Mavila in Mozambique, known for their use near-equal heptatonic scales. Nobody can agree on how to pronounce this word.

===Meantone:=== 
Origin: Really really old
Meaning: Named so because it maps the major whole tone (9/8) and the minor whole tone (10/9) to the same interval, which is near the average of the two tones in ideal tunings.

===Miracle:=== 
Origin: Joe Monzo
Meaning: It is a miracle that this scale is so accurate! Many people falsely attribute its origin to the backronym "Multitude of Integer Ratios Approximated Consistently, Linearly and Evenly."

===Mohajira:=== 
Origin: Jacques Dudon
Meaning: means "wandering" in Arabic.

===Mothra:=== 
Named by Gene Smith after a Japanese fictional monster: a daikaiju name for a temperament with ~8/7 generator. Mothra has defeated Godzilla more times than any other daikaiju; the musical meaning of this fact is at best speculative.

===Myna===
Myna is related to starling, the 126/125 planar temperament, and a myna is a member of the starling familily (Sturnidae.)

===Negri ("negripent", "negrisept"):=== 
Origin: 2001, (Paul Erlich?)
Meaning: Named after John Negri's 10-out-of-19 maximally even scale.

===Octacot:=== 
Meaning: 3/2 is divided into 8 equal parts, therefore "octa-".

===Orgone:===

===Semaphore:=== 
Meaning: semi-fourth, i.e. half of a 4/3

===Sensi: (also 'Sensipent,' 'Sensisept')=== 
Origin: Middle-Path or Pre-Middle-Path
Meaning: A combination of the words "semi-" and "sixth." Or so they say. (Yes, they do say - Ryan)

===Slendric:=== 
Named after slendro which it resembles very little.

===Srutal:=== 

===Squares===
Named from the fact that the wedgie is <<4 16 9 ...||, which is 2^2, 4^2, 3^2.

===Superpyth:=== 
Meaning: fifths are wider than Pythagorean, hence super-Pythagorean or "superpyth"

===Tetracot:=== 
Meaning: 3/2 is divided into 4 equal parts, hence "tetra-". Not sure why "-cot".

===Whitewood:=== 
Meaning: Black keys are to Blackwood as white keys are to Whitewood
