Origin of the name

From the original "Hwatong(화통)" it is renamed several times, into "Freeway" and then "CiON" or "CION", meaning a descendant of a noble blood. And then it is respelled into "CyON", and later to "CYON". When it was being respelled into CyON, it is said that the name was loosely derived from "cyber-on", implying connectivity to the "cyberspace"(or "cybernetic space"), where, in turn, "cyber-" and "cybernetics" find its etymology in Greek κυβερνήτης(steersman, skipper, guide, governor).

gollark: So it could be programmed with some sort of "personal day night cycle" option.
gollark: Well, it's relative to when you sleep or something, right? Or meals?
gollark: I mean, if you're saying "it is 3 hours after noon", you probably *mean* something like "it's a reasonable time to do X". So say that.
gollark: In what context would they say that, though?
