Thanks for the list! I've heard of Etsy but I had no clue they're a B-corp. By the way, they have a lovely FAQ: "How did Etsy get its name? The true origin of the word “Etsy” is a mystery known only to our founders. If someone asks you where the name came from, just make something up. That’s what we do."

  My personal theory is that it is related to /etc. As most people who work in Linux know, this directory is usually pronounced "etsy". Because it's a website, and they sell random kinds of stuff, I have a hunch there is a connection. I could be completely wrong.

    I suspect the abbreviation of "et cetera" has a more direct correlation than the unix filesystem.

      But how often do you pronounce it as "etsy" and not "et cetera" except when referring to /etc?
