# Why Dolt?
Why Dolt? To pay homage to Git! [Linus Torvalds famously said he names his products after himself](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git#Naming), Linux and Git. Git is British slang for idiot. We needed a word that meant idiot that started with 'D' for data that was short enough to type on the command line. Hence, Dolt.
