A "Tiddler" can refer to
* a young child (aka, "toddler" in the US)
* a small silvery bait fish (the "stickleback")
and "Tiddly" can mean:
* small (see "Tiddly Winks", using small round 'chips')
* drunk (aka "tipsy")
and, of course, "Wiki" is derived from the Hawaiian phrase "wiki wiki"
which means, approximately, "quick" or "fast".

Thus, put it together, and "TiddlyWiki" == "Small and Fast"

... how's that for some marketing spin, eh?  :-)
