Google names different Android versions after desserts in alphabetical order. It started with Android 1.5 Cupcake, followed by Android 1.6 Donut, then Android 2.0 Éclair, Android 2.2Froyo, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, Android 3.0 Honeycomb, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, Android 4.4 Kitkat, Android 5.0 Lollipop and finally, Android 6.0Marshmallow.
It’s not yet clear what the Android version number for Nougat will be. However, it may not reach 7.0 since a change in the first digit means a revision in design.
