Here's a post that Rand wrote about the origin of Moz in SEOmoz - http://moz.com/blog/what-does-the-moz-in-seomoz-mean http://moz.com/blog/what-does-the-moz-in-seomoz-mean EDIT tl;DR based off the [moz] that was so popular years ago that stood for openness and transparency. DMOZ and others are included in this history.
