Kodi was originally developed as a home theater entertainment center app for Xbox. Initially it was called as XBMP or Xbox Media Player. However, once more features and functionalities were added to Kodi, it simply outgrew its roles of being just a media player. Therefore, its name was changed to XBMC or Xbox Media Center. From here the XBMC Foundation derives its name and it maintains everything associated with Kodi including further development and official add-ons.
