What is another word for endian?
Pronunciation: [ˈɛndi͡ən] (IPA) 
The term endian refers to the way that numeric data is stored in computer memory. There are two main types of endian architectures: big-endian and little-endian. In big-endian architecture, the most significant byte of a multi-byte data type is stored first, while in little-endian architecture, the least significant byte is stored first.
Synonyms for the term endian might include byte order or byte ordering. Since endian refers specifically to the ordering of bytes within a word, other related concepts might include endianness, endianness detection, or endianness conversion. Programmers might also use terms like network byte order, host byte order, or byte-swapping to describe the process of converting between different endian architectures.
