Did Facebook have a different name before it was called Facebook?

Yes, before it was called Facebook, the social networking platform had a different name. It was initially known as "TheFacebook" when it was launched in February 2004. Mark Zuckerberg, along with his co-founders, initially developed the platform as a way for Harvard University students to connect with each other. Later, it expanded to other universities and eventually to the general public. The name "TheFacebook" was chosen to reflect its origins as a social network for college students. However, over time, the name was simplified to just "Facebook" as the platform grew beyond its college roots and became a global phenomenon.
