BASIC's name, coined in classic computer science tradition to produce a good acronym, stands for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. It ties to the name of an unpublished paper by the language's co-inventor, Thomas Kurtz (the name thus having no relation to C. K. Ogden's series "Basic English").
