Funny, but really what does it mean?
shareElectronic Operator? I'm not sure myself.
sharewell, considering his latest legal plight, it could have been an omen for Emir Ower!!!!! Seems the Prince of Bahrain is not happy with the prince of plastic surgery at the moment.
shareThat's kinda mean though especially since his surgeries stem from his Lupus. Would you condemn & make fun of a White cancer patient?

Ignore the trolls and listen to me instead...
Hmmm, "Eo" was the goddess of twilight or dawn in Greek mythology. Her name in Roman mythology is "Aurora". I believe that has something to do with it.
Yes, it's true! IMDB has reached Sweden!
The goddess Aurora is "Eos" in Greek, not "Eo."
"Eo" may simply be a rewritten version of the Greek word "Io," which is pronounced as "<EE-oh>"--a word that would be spelled in English as "Eo." My theory here is that the title spelling may have been changed from "Io" to "Eo" because Americans would be pronouncing "Io" as "<EYE-oh>" which would be incorrect.
Alternatively, it could be an acronym for something meaningful. The flaw with this idea is acronyms in English should be written entirely in upper-case letters and the title is not. Sometimes though, people don't capitalize all the letters in acronyms the way the English language requires. (I.e. Although "intel" should be "INTEL" and "comms" should be "COMMS," they are normally not capitalized even though they technically should be.) If "Eo" in "Captain Eo" is an acronym where the capitalization requirement is ignored, that title would still be spelled with a capital "e" because it follows the English rule for capitalization of a title.
Michael said himself in his book "Moonwalk", that the name "Eo" came from the Greek goddess of dawn, or the Greek word for "dawn". Even two thousand years ago, there were different Greek dialects, so while I too have heard the form "Eos", the goddess could very well have been called "Eo" in another dialect. For example, Mother Earth was called both "Gaia" and "Ge", so there were different forms of the names of the gods. And even if the name would be misspelled, it still is the goddess, or the greek word for "dawn", that Captain Eo's name refers too.

That's right, it was form the greek word. =]
"Dreaming of the night he danced with me..."
EO means: the sun
if that is what they mean I don't know...
I have always wondered the same thing...after a while I guess I gave up on trying to figure out an answer and just decided that EO was his name.

LOL, sorry... couldn't resist that one.
I had a film teacher who always thought it meant "Emulsion Out" for the way that film is run though the camera,with the emulsion part out to the lens so it captures the image.
shareOld post I know but it's really interesting, what you wrote.
Now Playing: America's Got Talent
As opposed to loading the film emulsion in with the emulsion away from the lens? In fact, with enough light, it can be done. The resulting image is quite red due to the light absorbent backing material (forgot what it was called).
Assistant Cameras write "emulsion out" on cans depending on the wind of the film. It's been a long time, but some cameras load in reverse.

I asked a cast member at Disney World that was working the attraction when I saw it in July and they said it was Greek for "A new dawn".
