Hi, we created the name "Apigee" as a play on the word "Apogee", thinking that - like an 'apogee' - an API can be imagined 'as the furthest point from the edge' . We also thought the 'gee' made it sound kind of fun. That's how we decided on the name back in 2009! - scott

Thanx....:)

When I was introduced to "Apigee", the first thing to come to my mind was the apogee-perigee terminology. I assumed there would be some connection and even tried searching for it online. Thanks @scott@apigee.com for sharing the trivia with all of us.

I always tell people: "Apigee ... as in 'Gee, I have an API!'".

Simplicity and ease of use are key.
