"Raspberry is a reference to a fruit naming tradition in the
old days of microcomputers. A lot of computer companies were named after fruit.
There's Tangerine Computer Systems, Apricot Computers, and the old British
company Acorn, which is a family of fruit.
"Pi is because originally we were going to produce a computer
that could only really run Python. So the Pi in there is for Python. Now you
can run Python on the Raspberry Pi but the design we ended up going with is
much more capable than the original we thought of, so it's kind of outlived its
name a little bit."
