Please be so kind and inform me, how you got the name of the product Excel. Maybe it means Excellent or maybe Ex Cell (out of the cell) or maybe something else?

You may ask the founder Bill Gates, he definitely knows the story about this name.
But I don't know how to contact him!
By the way, I found this https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-origin-of-the-name-of-Microsoft-Excel that talks about the same topic.

This bears also a small criticism of Microsoft in it, really the people from Microsoft are not easy to contact, if it is not specifically targeted to a technical or commercial issue.
