Eventually, Izuku finds out that One for All contains the quirks of the previous users. While he initially disliked being called "Deku", Izuku is inspired by Ochaco's assumption that it was based on the word dekiru (できる, to be able to/to be capable of) to embrace the moniker and ultimately adopts it as his Hero name.
