People occasionally ask about the meaning of my domain name. I'm aware of several that are listed below. But the inspiration for my domain comes from a very mundane source: Silly messages that outdoor enthusiast friends leave in my voice mail referring to various modes of transport by foot. An example is "wakawaka runna runna stroll".
Here are the real-world meanings of the word that I have gathered from various uncredited sources:
| Afrikans: | One who travels, as in a travelling salesman. |
| Maori: | Two boats. |
| Swahili: | Shine bright. |
| waka-waka.com: | A brand of solar-powered lamps and other devices. |
| Fozzie Bear: | An utterance made by a television character favored by children. |
