Hexagonal arch is a very old name, another popular name is “ports and adapters”. Alistair’s article on the C2 Wiki suggests 2005 as the origin of the name (http://wiki.c2.com/?PortsAndAdaptersArchitecture http://wiki.c2.com/?PortsAndAdaptersArchitecture), but that the pattern was identified in the 90s.
btw, wayback machine has a copy from 2009 of Alistair’s page: https://web.archive.org/web/20090122225311/http://alistair.cockburn.us/Hexagonal+architecture https://web.archive.org/web/20090122225311/http://alistair.c...

I definitely do think one should avoid service provider lockin by using abstraction, I'm just not going to use the awkward sounding name coined by someone who doesn't seem to be adding much to the concept.
