What does Bingo mean?

Bingo is the name of the popular game of chance played with numbered cards, and the word has also long been an exclamation of triumph when something works out just right. It's perhaps best known as a dog's name thanks to the classic folk song about a farmer's dog named Bingo.

Bingo has an upbeat, celebratory ring to it — a fun, old-fashioned choice for a pet whose arrival felt like a lucky win.
