No, Nickelodeon is not Latin for "I don't care about God." The name Nickelodeon actually has a more straightforward origin. It is a combination of two words:
- Nickel – A reference to the cost of admission, which was typically five cents, or a nickel, for early motion picture theaters.
- Odeon – A Greek word (ωδεῖον) meaning "theater" or "concert hall."
These early nickelodeons were small theaters where short films were shown to the public for a low price, hence the name. It has no connection to Latin or any meaning related to not caring about God.
The idea that Nickelodeon translates to something related to "I don't care about God" is not accurate from an etymological or linguistic perspective.
