REPO (or R.E.P.O.) stands for Retrieve, Extract, and Profit Operation. Since the game focuses on retrieving valuable items and extracting them to make a profit, it perfectly aligns with the game’s core theme. Moreover, it also cleverly matches the traditional meaning of the word repo, which refers to something repurchased or repossessed. 

Before finalizing the title as REPO, the developer came up with a few other names. In one of the Q&A videos, the developer Pontus revealed the early working titles like Taxnight, Repossession (Repossessed). Eventually, they landed on REPO, which feels like the perfect title for the game with such mechanics.
