Etymology
In an interview with ASCAP in 2011, Jacoby stated that the word "eusonia" borrows from Greek and Latin, and means "home of good music".{{cite web |url=https://www.ascap.com/playback/2011/06/radar_report/manhattanm.aspx |title=Manhattan Motown |date=June 15, 2011 |first=Erik |last=Philbrook |website=ASCAP |access-date=2017-04-14}}
