  Now we know what the "B" in B-tree stands for! ;) Wikipedia has a section on the etymology of the B-tree name. One of the original inventors says "B" stands for "Boeing", "Bayer" (another inventor), and "balanced". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-tree#Etymology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-tree#Etymology
