[wikipedia.org] The name wikipedia comes from the Hawai’in word for quick Wiki, see picture top right. [royalsociety.org] The Royal Society is named after the British Monarchy, set up with help from Charles I. The name is a bit of a misnomer as you don’t need to be a royalist to join – republicans are welcome. In Middle English, the word Royal means s-l-o-w, traditional and painfully conservative [citation needed]. [0]
