What does Oreo mean?
/ˈɔɹioʊ/

Oreo is a word name taken from the sandwich cookie: two chocolate wafers with a sweet cream filling between them. The word itself entered English purely as a brand name, and its own linguistic origin is uncertain.

Oreo is an obvious, delightful pick for any black-and-white companion, since the two-tone coloring mirrors the cookie almost exactly. It's playful and a little sweet, just like its namesake.
