Got this in some webpage
"So why Safari? Whats so special in this name? Though no official statement as been revealed from Apple Inc regarding its naming convention, Apple wanted its browser to have a name with a ‘verb’ in it, similar to Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer etc – some description which was apt!
Safari, in a broader sense, means exploring the wild, especially on the African land. Hence the bosses at Apple might have connected the name ‘Safari’ as a means to navigate or explore the web. Ohh – Navigate or Explore sound great but both these were already taken! So they settled for ‘Safari’. "
Interesting it is 🙂
