+<!-- TODO.  Source?  -->
+
+According to Thomas Bushnell, the primary architect of the Hurd:
+
+> *Hurd*, as an acronym, stands for *Hird of [[Unix]]-Replacing Daemons*.
+> *Hird*, in turn, stands for *Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth*.
+
+> We have here, to my knowledge, the first software to be named by a pair of
+> mutually recursive acronyms.
+
+[Quoting](http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/help-hurd/2002-10/msg00099.html)
+him further:
+
+> The name *Hurd* was invented by me, as an alternate spelling for the English
+> word *herd*.  *Hird* is just another alternate spelling for the same word.
+> By the [[normal_rules_of_English_orthography|gramatically_speaking]], they
+> all have the same pronunciations.

+In other contexts:
+
+One contributor from Norway described two other uses of Hird.
+
+  * "the kings men", a name given to the men accompanying the Norwegian kings at about 
+    year 1000 and on.
+    
+    This was later coined by V. Quisling when he formed a party with
+    nationalistic traits to denote a set of helpers promoting his agenda of
+    national and Nordic ideas.
+
+  * a symbol of collaboration with the (German) enemy used in World War II.
