Did you find that the browser that comes with the Apple iPad is called Safari, what does Safari mean?
We know that the browser is Browse in English, so why is the Apple browser not called ibrowse? Let's take a look~
As Don Melton, former head of Apple's Internet Engineering Department, recalled on his blog, Safari, Apple's system browser, was initially named Freedom by Steve Jobs during the development phase because the name brought a positive impression of freedom and expressed the team's vision to free itself from the ever-dependent Microsoft Internet Explorer.
But the team thought the word was easily associated with women

, thus being denied. Later the browser was also called Alexander and iBrowse used, but both failed to make Steve Jobs fully satisfied. It was not until a month before the product launch that it was finally settled on as Safari.
Safari, meaning "land travel", has its roots in the Arabic word for "travel", safar, a word that was brought to the East African coast by the Arabian people and evolved in the Swahili language, and like the browser Safari, which has had many twists and turns and changed names, it has found its final home after many changes and wanderings.
And what does Siri, the intelligent voice assistant developed by Apple, mean?
Siri and safari have nothing to do with each other, but is an acronym for Speech Interpretation & Recognition Interface, pronounced / siri/, which means "speech recognition interface".
Siri was originally the name of a company that Apple had acquired as part of its voice technology, "Siri".
Thus, the name is used. To say why Apple did not change the name at that time, the original Siri behind this contains a good meaning.
According to the voice of siri - Susan bennett from Atlanta, USA, the original development team of siri had an engineer, Dag kirrlau, who is Norwegian, and the team decided to let him name the software at that time. He was from Norway and decided to use "Siri" as the name of the software, because the translation of "Siri" in Norwegian is: the beautiful woman who guides you to victory. What a beautiful name, and poetic.
