It's KAME FAQ:
Q: What is "KAME"? Why did you choose the name?
KAME is "turtle" in Japanese. Then, you may wonder why it is
"turtle"... :-) See answers below.
Official answer #1: Our office is located at Karigome
village, Fujisawa, Kanagawa JAPAN. Take the very first
two letters and last two letters from KArigoME. Yea, you
got KAME.
Official answer #2: In Asian/Indian mythology, the world
is on a tray supported by elephants, and the elephants are
on a giant turtle and a giant snake. The universe consists
of the turtle and the snake. We are trying to shake the
universe by our code, so the name is KAME.
Real answer: We got together in IPv6 hacking workshop at
JAIST university (URLﾘﾝｸ(www.jaist.ac.jp)). One of core
member, itojun, got very tired of tracking bugs. There
was big stuffed turtle (URLﾘﾝｸ(www.nui.org)) in the
laboratory. Itojun hugged the turtle and mumbled, "Mr
turtle please help me debug my code...".
(URLﾘﾝｸ(www.itojun.org)) This
is the real reason for the name.
