I believe Wiki cam from the Hawaiian language.
- I am used to the name and understand the real cost of changing the name, so are somewhat reluctant for this to happen. However I know there comes a time. - The truth is it is somehow hard to get away from quizzical looks when I tell strangers about it, They think I said tiddlywinks and it somewhat damages the authority that it should have. - The fact is If I said Raspberry Pi I would possibly get the same looks, I imagine apple once caused this. - It is a short 4 syllable name with each being quite "sharp" and the mouth does not roll onto the next syllable try thinking about the transition by saying 121c vs tid lee wick ee Other discussions in this forum of late have discussed the shear complexity of describing tiddlywiki due to its diverse nature. We do need to have distinct focus areas or we will only attract those who stumble on it from a related keyword or work of mouth. Without starting a Guessing Competition I would think a word like Chameleon combined with a suitable IT related word like info-chameleon cloud-chameleon. All the big brands in the world become somewhat obscure/abstract because they do not want the name to suggest too much when they actually provide many products and services. In some ways that is what tiddlyWiki does, it is a Wiki, the best wiki, but it is much more.
