@lydiaconwell That's where Wikipedia excels at:
> The name "zip" (meaning "move at high speed") was suggested by Katz's [the designer of ZIP] friend, Robert Mahoney.

@Mensh123 Interesting.
I was actually referring to the zipper/zip fastener but Wikipedia doesn't have an answer why that name was chosen.
