Hass.io? In case you don't know, hass means hatred in German.

Yep, unfortunate naming...

In turkish it might sound like "hassiktir," which means "fk off", "WTF", but pronouncing only the first half is very common.

Interesting. It is also a not uncommon last name.

  Isn't that usually Haas? I know 3 or 4 independent people with the last name Haas, as well as the Haas business school at berkely, but only know Hass as the avocado brand.

    Haas is also the name of one of the biggest CNC machine companies. They also have race teams.

David Hasselhoff will not be pleased to hear that - his surname loosely translates as "Court of Hatred"

  If I had to guess, I'd say "Hassel" is related to "Hasel" in this case (as is the case with quite a few similar place names), which would make it more like "David from the farm with the hazel trees" or something.

  "Hassel" is German slang and translates to "hassle".
  - hutzlibu 9y ago
    .. but that is new slang, and originates in "hassle" afaik. And I would rather say, it is just used (and written) as the original english word.

      It could very well be exactly the other way around. Even my grandparents knew this word and taught it to my parents. It's absolutely not new.

        Interesting, I never heard of it and will ask mine. Which area are you from? (maybe it is dialect?) Anyway, I suppose most teens who use today, got the word from gangsta rap and their "street hassle" ..

Coincidentally, it is also a short name for the home assistant software in English.

When you ask geeks to name a product the result might resemble marketeers engineering it.
