Where it comes from
From porn (“pornography”) + hub (“a central facility providing a range of related services”), so-called because the website hosts pornographic videos; but Pornhub was originally part of a parent company called Interhub, which may have potentially inspired its name. Coined by founder Matt Keezer in May 2007. The noun sense is derived from the prominence of Pornhub.
