What Does “Data Narro” Mean?
Data Narro’s company name that is made up of two words – Data and Narro, both of which are derived from Latin. Data, whose modern meaning generally means information, is derived from the Latin word datum, which means gift or present. Narro, which may be unfamiliar to modern readers, means to recount, narrate, or reveal.
Put these together, and we have a simple meaning: “Information Revealed”. For investigators that work with Data Narro, many times the information that we recover can seem like a gift!
