Vegans narrowly missed being called “benevores”
The term vegan was coined in November 1944, when a group of non-dairy
vegetarians got together to discuss non-dairy vegetarian diets and
lifestyles. This group – which grew into the Vegan Society in the UK –
toyed with the names "dairyban", "vitan" and "benevore", before settling
on vegan, which contains the first three and last two letters of vegetarian.
