Oberon (moon) after characters created by William Shakespeare or Alexander Pope. The name Oberon was derived from Oberon, the King of the Fairies in "A Midsummer Night's Dream". The names of all four satellites of Uranus then known were suggested by Herschel's son John in 1852, at the request of William Lassell, who had discovered the other two moons, Ariel and Umbriel, the year before. The adjectival form of the name is "Oberonian," .

Oberon (operating system) PC-Native Oberon. Other versions of the Oberon System, i.e. without "Native" in the name, had partially modified interfaces of low level modules. In 2015 Peter Matthias revitalized LNO under the Name OLR (Oberon Linux Revival) as a multi-platform Distribution running seamlessly under Intel x86, RISC-V, MIPS, and ARM. It runs nicely on the Raspberry Pi and on the inexpensive CHIP computer; with some tweaking (adjusting group membership or/and permissions on some devices) it runs nicely under Tiny Core Linux. OLR interfaces with Linux kernel by direct System calls. OLR currently (mid 2017) misses a network layer. In 2013 Niklaus Wirth
