The word TWAIN is from Kipling’s “The Ballad of East and West” - “…and never the twain shall meet…”, reflecting the difficulty, at the time, of connecting scanners and personal computers. It was up-cased to TWAIN to make it more distinctive. This led people to believe it was an acronym, and then to a contest to come up with an expansion. None were selected, and to date there is no “official” acronym. (The entry “Technology Without An Interesting Name” continues to haunt the standard.)
