Where did the word "wiki" come from?

Pretty interesting question, isn't it? I have to admit that I've known the answer for years but that's simply because I run 2 or 3 wikis myself. I have just come across this exceptional infographic that you can see below and thought I should share it here.

Where Did The Word Wiki Come From?

• A wiki is defined as a ‘web page designed so that its content can be edited by anyone’.
• Wiki is derived from proto-central-eastern-polynesian. “Witi” is hawaiian for ‘quick’.
• Honolulu International Airport uses the term wiki for their ‘quick quick’ shuttle between terminals. It is called the ‘wiki wiki shuttle’
• The first wiki project started in 1994 – wikiwikiweb, with the name derived from the airport shuttle.
• Wikipedia made its debut in 2001
