TIL that the "My" in MySQL is not the English word my but the Swedish name My, for the daughter of co-founder Michael Widenius. ♡

The name My was introduced by Tove Jansson for the character Little My, who is named after the Greek letter mu.

So you could pronounce My as [ˈmyː] or as [maɪ].

Never mind how to pronounce SQL.

MySQL documentation defines the official as “My Ess Que Ell” but the devs in Swedish say "mü-ess-ku-ell".
