Mr. Eko


hey Lost FA-REAKS!
So I'm working on a paper and start to type the word "ecosystem" in my dashboard dictionary and come upon this for the first three letters "eco":
Eco (E*ko), Umberto. Italian novelist and semiotician.

A semiotician is:
Someone that studies signs and symbols and their use or interperetation.

Is this intentional? Knowing those writers I wouldn't be suprised, but wikipedia (ok grouputer choice) says that his name was originally supposed to be "Emeka", but that name was later given to another character, a warlord:
Emeka is a nickname for the Ibo (Nigeria) name Chukwuemeka (meaning "God has done great")

idunnoidunnoidunno.
Any thoughts?
