Skype
Skype was originally developed by a team of Estonian engineers, including Ahti Heinla, Priit Kasesalu, and Jaan Tallinn, along with the support of Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis from Sweden. The name "
Skype" is derived from a combination of "sky" and "peer-to-peer," reflecting the service's focus on internet communication. Initially, the company was called "
Skyper," but it was shortened to "
Skype" because the original name was already in use.
