What does Pardot stand for
Pardot is the Latvian (not Latin!) verb meaning “to market” or “to sell.” I liked that it was easy to pronounce and spell, so I headed over to BustAName to see if it was unregistered, and, much to my surprise, it was available.
I registered it immediately for $8 and the rest is history. (source: davidcummings.org)
