What does ‘ONO’ mean in Chinese?
Ke Xu:
Actually, it doesn't mean anything in Chinese. The full-length name of ONO is ‘Oh Nome'. Our company name is Nome Tech. The word, nome, basically means a province where people live and it originated in ancient Egypt. There were 42 nomes in ancient Egypt with each nome being led by a nomarch.
It also can be defined as a combination of the social concepts inherent in the words, name and home, both of which carry a deep significance for the social nature of human beings. Humans are fundamentally driven by social impulses, so the words, name and home embody these social foundations on which our lives are based.
There is yet another meaning of nome, when it is split into two words: ‘no’ and ‘me’ which means 'know yourself,’ as originated by Socrates. Knowing yourself remains to be one of the things we can aspire towards in a new social network.

Is there another meaning that I am unaware of?
