The characters 'T', 'E', and 'X' in the name come from the [[Greek alphabet|Greek]] [[capital letter]]s [[tau]], [[epsilon]], and [[chi (letter)|chi]], as the name of [[TeX]] derives from the {{langx|grc|τέχνη}} ('skill', 'art', 'technique'); for this reason, TeX's creator [[Donald Knuth]] promotes its pronunciation as {{IPAc-en|t|ɛ|x}} ({{respell|tekh}})<ref>Donald E. Knuth, ''The TeXbook'', Addison–Wesley, Boston, 1986, p. 1.</ref> (that is, with a [[voiceless velar fricative]] as in Modern Greek, similar to the ch in [[loch]]). Lamport remarks that "TeX is usually pronounced ''tech'', making ''lah''-tech, lah-''tech'', and ''lay''-tech the logical choices; but language is not always logical, so ''lay-tecks'' is also possible."<ref>Lamport (1994), p 5</ref>

The name is printed in running text with a typographical [[logo]]: {{stylized LaTeX}}. In media where the logo cannot be precisely reproduced in running text, the word is typically given the unique capitalization LaTeX.
