What is the origin of the name Zapier?

It doesn't seem quite right without two of the letter p - but hey, it's their name!

Still, when Wade Foster did an AMA on the Zapier Community forum, we made a point to ask.

To quote the answer:

We wanted API in the name since Zapier is built on APIs. We though Zaps were cool too. We found Zapier available for $9.99 and went for it. We couldn't afford Zappier.com at the time either.
