Usually thought to mean "Formula Translation", FORTRAN is a blend word name for a software language and compiler whose original full name was "The IBM Mathematical Formula Translating System". The first FORTRAN compiler was released in April of 1957. In 1991, however, the connection to the original meaning was dropped. So from the Fortran 90 of then to the upcoming Fortran 2008, the name is spelled with only the first letter capitalized.
