Why is restic called restic?

Just curious. What does the name mean? Where does it come from?

The github name generator

Really? I’ve always wondered this too…

You’re kidding…
Really? That’d be a cool trivia.

Hm. Here we go. @formorer is right, the name was generated, I think by this generator: https://mrsharpoblunto.github.io/foswig.js/

The org on GitHub wasn’t taken yet, so I thought it’d be fine. The original code name (khepri) was unfortunately already taken…
