Did you know that the name "Neo Geo" literally meant "New World"?

So here's the thing.
The arcade system we are used to is named "Neo Geo".
Here's the thing: The term "neo" comes from the Greek word "????" "(néos, “new, youngâ€￾), and literally means "new". The word "geo" also comes from Greek, from the ancient "???-" (ge?-), combining form of ?? (gê, “earthâ€￾). These words are now used in English, such as "neo-creationism" and "geography".
So if we do the translations, we would note what the title says... the name "Neo Geo" literally means "New World"!
The name most likely refers to the hardware, which for an early 90s arcade machine, was very advanced, sometimes being more powerful than the then-rising Super Famicom (christened the Super Nintendo Entertainment System outside of Japan and China, the latter also including Taiwan and Hong Kong).
