- "UNO" can also stand for "Unless Noted Otherwise" in welding terminology. This usage is specific to the industry and might not be as widely known.
- "UNO" is also used as a shortened form of "University of Nebraska Omaha" and "University of New Orleans." These are specific educational institutions and their use of the acronym is limited to their respective contexts.
In the context of the game "Uno," the name is derived from the Italian word "uno" meaning "one." The game is named so because the player who reaches 500 points first wins.
