This is something very elementary question.

my friend ask me , "why named dart? is that a kind of game? "

Where does the name come from?

Thanks in advance

It was originally called "Dash". The team had to change the name due to some potential confusion. "Dart" was similar and as a verb means "to move quickly", similar to "dash".

It could be named Alka-Seltzer since it is the best thing to remove all signs
of unwanted coffee from your machine. :>}
