Ethernet names...

[Bill Degnan]

Ethernet was the name given to the Alto (XEROX) Aloha Network created (?)
by Bob Metcalff (sp?), which was based/inspired by an improved version of
the ALOHANET used by the U of Hawaii.  I think Ethernet was a nickname,
eventually becoming the official name of what was originally the Alto Aloha
Network.

I did not look this up in Wikipedia, I am sure this must be somewhere
