Etsy

Only the founder knows what it means

Etsy is an e-commerce website which focuses on hand made or vintage products. Their products include - art, photography, clothing, jewelry, food, bath and beauty products, quilts, knick-knacks, and toys.

A spokesperson told -

“The origin of the word "Etsy" is shrouded in mystery. Only our founder Rob Kalin knows for sure and he often throws out red herrings. Some widely-publicized (and certainly fabricated) versions of the story include: a reference to a magic word in a Fellini film, the name of his grandmother's favorite childhood pet, and something about a Unix directory, I think it's "/etc," pronounced “et-C.”

This word can also mean something else in other languages like - "and if" in Latin, "horny" in Japanese and a slur for "loose woman" in Russian.
