Siri


I think this Question came across your mind, Why Apple Named her voice personal Assistant app "Siri" ?


Interestingly, Jobs was not quite happy with the name Siri as it did not begin with an "i" However, the name of the feature remained unchanged because he could not come up with a better alternative. That is what Dag (co-founder of the company that brought the feature to the world) himself revealed during a speech that he gave earlier this week. He also shared details as to why he chose the name Siri:

 


"I worked with a lady named Siri in Norway and wanted to name my daughter Siri and the domain was available," Dag explained. "And also consumer companies need to focus on the fact that the name is easy to spell, easy to say."
