Quora 這個名字有什麼含義？或者說來源是什麼？

There are two primary explanations:

• It"s

  short for Question or Answer.

• It"s a plural of the word quorum
  created by the founders.

----------------------------------

Charlie Cheever(A Founder at Quora)：

• Quora最終被Quora Company確定前，Quiver是"Quora"最大的競爭名稱。The closest Competition Quora had is Quiver。Quora最終以簡單Nice，一點點發音的困難，並且associate it with 「Quorum」and public Congregation.

"Quora is derived from the word quorum. A quorum is a group of people coming together and reaching a consensus.[1]"

個人覺得這個說法和Quora的定位比較契合。
