Apache

See also: apache and apaché

English

Portraits of some Apaches (members of any of several native peoples of southwestern USA)

Etymology

From American Spanish apache, most likely from Zuni ˀa˙paču (“Navajos”), or possibly from the Yavapai word ʔpačə, meaning "people".

The web server software was named to honor the Apache people, although much has been made of the fact that its design was "patchy" (constructed by assembling software patches). See Apache HTTP Server § Name.
