Why are houses called houses, or cats called cats? You're basically asking what's the meaning of life. In all seriousness though, the origin of the name "Oreo" for Nabisco's cookie doesn't have a definite history, but there have been many proposed reasons as to why it would be named Oreo:
"Oreo comes from the Greek root for appetizing as in orexin or orexigenic (appetite stimulating) or anorexic (loss of appetite). There are many theories pointing to the origin of the name 'Oreo', including derivations from the French word 'Or', meaning gold (as early packaging was gold), or the Greek word 'Oros', meaning mountain or hill (as the original Oreo was mound shaped) or even the Greek word 'Oreo', meaning beautiful or nice.[5] Other theories are that the 're' from cream was 'sandwiched' between the two Os from cookie, or the word 'just seemed like a nice, melodic combination of sounds'. A TV spot for the Got Milk? campaign showed a false etymology where, when at a board meeting to decide the name of the cookie, one of the members is asked for his opinion; the member, who just ate a cookie and does not have any milk to wash it down responds "I don't know," which is heard by the board member as "Oreo." - From Wikipedia.com
Oreos Athletic Club was created in 1903.
1912
That was 1912!
Oreo cookies are 1.75 inches in diameter.The distance between the Earth and her Moon is 225,291 miles (at apogee [the closest distance]).So: If Oreo cookies could be laid side-by-side into space, it would take 36,206 of them to equal 1 (one) mile.Multiplying 225,291 (distance in miles at apogee) by six times there and back (actually, that's 12 trips) would equal 2,703,492 miles.Multiplying that by 36,206 cookies equals -a LOTof cookies!
Oreos were created by the Nabisco company in 1912 in their New York City factory.
