Hi, Latin student here x 8 years, but just to be sure, I pulled out my Latin dictionary (like, a physical copy). Kelo is not a Latin verb, and nic is not a Latin pronoun.
There's enough legitimate evil these people are guilty of for us never to need to make things up.
odeon - "A kind of theater in ancient Greece, smaller than the dramatic theater and roofed over, in which poets and musicians submitted their works to the approval of the public, and contended for prizes; -- hence, in modern usage, the name of a hall for musical or dramatic performances. "
nickelodeon - "An early movie theater charging an admission price of five cents."
Unfortunately Google translate is invalid here. “Nic” is not a latin word. “Ni” might be construed as a negative particle. There are two words that begin with K in Cassel’s Latin dict: Karthago and kalendae. “Kelo” could be a phonetic misspelling of”celo” (I hide) but is more likely connected to the “c” in “Nick-“. Plus that “-ck-“ feels Anglo-Saxon. If “Deo” refers here to “god” (unlikely since it seems to be part of the ending “-Deon”) it would be ablative or dative. In summary, before getting a Latin tattoo, consult a Latinist.
What are you trying to accomplish here? Nobody is going to buy this obviously fake and dumb explanation, especially when the actual etymology is trivially easy to find.
Seems like another example of putting out something easily debunked (the supposed latin), to deflect from something that is definitely true (the similarity of the icon to the island)
Please stop it with these strange dissections of words & then feeding into Google which will make something up (just like AI just comes up with fake info).
If you're interested in what a word originally meant you can search for its history, called "etymology".
This kind of anti-linguistic gibberish is a waste of time, however.

Also, who still uses Google for anything?
Four years of Latin in HS here. The letter “k” is rarely used in Latin, “c” is used for the “k” sound.
The thing about Google Translate is, like Wikipedia, ANYONE can submit a definition.
I once translated a phrase there a couple of years ago, and I later did the same phrase again, and it was different that time.
It happened again with the infamous "covfefe."
Thank you for this insight.
Did some digging & found this stuff.
I get "God Bless You" with a translate search.
Not even a proper translation outside of Google-
This translation seems like a hoax that was run years ago. Sources to where original translations for Google came from it seems.
Some possible entomology
Yeah we need to stop with these, it just makes us look dumb
It's literally nickel odeon.

The logo-map comparison is a stretch.

No. You've got it turned around wrong. Try this aerial view:

Ah yes. Definitely plausible at least.

That’s probably a false translation. “K” is rare in Latin.
I did the Google translate Latin to English and it gave me the same result.

Nickelodeon used to use a foot for its logo, just saying

That logo being shaped like Epstein island though
Pretty obvious
The Nickelodeon logo definitely looks very much like Little St. James Island. See the Google map of it here:

Yes, this is not good memery. The word has been in use since the late 19th century.
