At the beginning, the version would be called Bento but it was trademarked the name by another company. Hence, they unify it with Mage to launch Magento which is the famous name still used till today. Magento Community Edition has been developed and customized in order to provide a basic eCommerce platform.

Magento became more and more popular after 2009.It was even more popular than eCommerce itself. On April 15, 2009, Magento Enterprise Edition, which is derived from the Magento Community Edition, was released.

In February 2011, it was announced that eBay had invested in Magento and owned 49% ownership share of the company.Later in the same year, eBay bought Magento, with plans to merge it with new things.
