I have been wanting to know the same thing...I was guessing Clojure was an acronym for: Common_Lisp_Object_Java_?something?_?something?_? something?, or possibly Concurrency_Language_OnThe_JVM_?something?_? something?_?something?...I am dying to know. Or, like others have cited, Closure en Francais 'Clojure'....what does the name stand for and mean?
Can somebody post the history of the language, what the name means, how it was chosen, were there any working names for the language before it was called Clojure....etc. Is the inventor a Seattle Seahawks fan, the colors of the Clojure Icon suggest so.
