Originally called Phoenix, since it was Netscape Navigator, reborn.

But Phoenix Technologies disliked that, so they renamed to a descriptive name for the same immortal bird -- Firebird.

The Firebird database people would have none of that, so after a few-months gap between 0.x releases, they found the closest thing they possibly could which was not trademarked. It had nothing to do with the original name idea, fire being a weak link.

And we've been stuck with that stupid name for two decades.

Love the comment!

Just a note that as soon as you have "cœliac", you also have [aɪ pʰiː eɪ] (and Z̵̰̦͖̟͕͈̣͙͈͖͕̜̉̋̏̑̓͒̋̈̇̊̓̚͠͠͝Ą̷̡̪̳̳̱̞̒̂̿̓̉̈̀̽͋̚͝L̵̡̰̦̮͖̼̎̈̃̉̀̔̋̓̀̎̾́̉͝G̷̨̬̟̖͎͉͚͇̰͇̠͒͂͛́̐͑̒͊̎̂͝Ǫ̸̢̜̩̹͖͙̥̯̹̥̼̐̓͋̆̈̊̓̒͜͝ͅ), thanks to Unicode.

It happens in mine with the same combination of sounds, a case of iotation. Many words which have a "ch" sound in them arose as contractions of "t-y" or "k-y", which we write as "ć" and "č" respectively.

As in, run GPG like you already do on important emails? mind == blown

You can go a step further and do Diffie-Hellman on a pocket calculator for key agreement. Authentication is left as an exercise for the reader tho.
