Summer time is getting closer and we all know what it means right?😉🇬🇷✈️🏖

The Corona virus has driven the world crazy and when new variants keep on coming an interesting thing to look into can be their names. As we all noticed, many of the COVID variants are named after Greek letters like the Delta variant and of course- the Omicron that put us all back in isolation.

The name Omicron (O,o|όμικρον) actually means “little O” (as in the word "dog"). In the Greek alphabet, there is another letter that creates the same syllable and sound of the Omicron: Omega (ωμέγα| Ω,ω). The name Omega means “big O” (as in the word "open"). The names of the letters come from ancient Greek language. In modern Greek language, short or long sounds are almost meaningless, and usually, both will sound like a “small O”.
