](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Cunningham)[Ward Cunningham](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Cunningham), the developer of the first wiki software, WikiWikiWeb, originally described it as "the simplest online database that could possibly work."[4] "Wiki" (pronounced [ˈwiki] or [ˈviki]) is a Hawaiian word for "fast".[5] "Wiki" has been backronymed by some to "What I Know Is".[6]

The wiki prefix actually does have a Hawaii connection. So there you go.
