No one ever called it a "Digital Ethernet Personal Computer Bus Adapter", just a DEPCA. I never previously knew that there was any meaning behind the DEPCA name.
Yes, that's what it meant. "DELNI" - Digital Ethernet Local Network Interface. "DESTA" - Digital Ethernet Station Termination Adapter. DELQA - Digital Ethernet Local Q-Bus Adapter (this one probably means something else. Working?). DEMPR - Multi Port Repeater. DEREP - Repeater. And so forth. Yeah, nobody spelled it out, but those DExxx names usually meant what the device was. DEBNT, DEUNA, DEQNA. Same naming convention. I'm probably missing several.
