What does the word 'Habbo' mean?

So the last 10 seconds I've been thinking about the word Habbo... What does it actually mean? Any ideas anyone?

Discuss below!

HA = Sarcastic laugh
BBO abbrivation stands for = Being Bored Online.

Guessing they're like " HA, YOU WON'T BE BORED ONLINE WHEN U PLAY HABBO!"

I found the answer.

He said the word, not the game. I like Joseph's answer.

The only thing that really comes up is that it means "Online community/game" - So I could assume that it's a custom-thought name!

Even Siri doesn't know, I guess it'll remain a secret. Joseph answer is the closets so far

Where you'll end up if you play it too long, RE... Hab...ilitation center.

Hairy Apes Being Bored Online.

Nah just kidding... Joseph's answer.

Good guesses haha, the word itself doesn't mean anything but Joseph his answer is the best explanation.

I think it's a Finnish word? Not sure though. I put it through a translator and nothing.

Probably just a word that Aapo and Sampo made up. :P

Sulake is fuse or fusaki or something so it's something with a meaning as well obviously but that never was really clear.

Habbo flipped back the front - obbah, remove the last h, take the first letter from bleep, bobba? :)

That may be true but then where is Obbah from.

Like he said, 'obbah' = 'habbo' backwards

Clearly incan read i just overlooked it: It's just weird how one random word can make such name occur it's amazing but strange also.

Bobba can make Babboo but it's not that.

When they started Habbo in finland, at 2000, they taked EOPH (Elämä on parasta huumetta / Life is the best drug) to do Anti-drugs work to Habbo.
Happo is a nickname for drugs in finland, so i believe that name Habbo comes from that. Just guessing, im not sure : D

ps. Sorry about my bad english...

Habmoon already stated that Habbo derived from the word Happo - which is Finnish for acid.
