Hi, I was drinking my daily morning cup of coffe and started to, without any actual reason think about: from where comes the name mojang?
(mojang is a game developer like id-software, but better :P)
You know the creators and developers of the very popular game “minecraft”
IIRC: did they also make a game called “scrolls”
The first ideas I did get was that notch (the boss?) did take a random name that from the beginning was 2 word at latin for positive meaning (just like people making forum and game aliases)
That theory has one week point: mojang is swedish and they can therefor use a swedish word instead as swedish already sound like somekind of spelling.
Then I saw something: the swedish word mojäng is very near mojang?
They did replace ä with a to make it more english and more welcome outside sweden.
Then you may ask: what means “mojäng”?
Mojäng is used as a word for a more advanced thing.
Can you give me that thing = kan du ge mig den där mojängen?
But this ISNT clear swedish, its a unsirius word and
its usually replaced with the more sirius “sak(en)”
So correct swedish: kan du ge mig den där saken (tack)?
Swedish for the garage: ge mig mojängen (för fan)
Info:
Tack = please
För fan = for satan (used as “and hurry up!”)
So Mojang should (based on my idea) mean “thing”.
