Supposedly, the term entered computer usage in 1995 when Ward Cunningham remembered being told at the Hawaii International Airport to use the "wiki wiki shuttle," where "wiki" means "quick," and applied the term to his "WikiWikiWeb" application (a pun on "world wide web") that allowed readers to edit the web pages they were reading.

Wiki this wiki that what is wiki and when did the wiki mania start?
A wiki is a type of website that allows users to collaboratively create, edit, and link pages of content. The word "wiki" comes from the Hawaiian word for "quick" or "fast," reflecting the idea that wikis are designed to facilitate fast and easy collaboration. The first wiki was created in 1995 by Ward Cunningham, a computer programmer who wanted to create a platform for collaborative software development. The wiki quickly gained popularity among software developers and soon became a popular tool for collaborative writing and information sharing. The "wiki mania" can be traced back to the mid-2000s, when the popular online encyclopedia Wikipedia became a cultural phenomenon. Wikipedia's success helped to popularize the idea of wikis as a tool for collaborative knowledge sharing and information gathering, and led to the creation of many other successful wiki-based projects. Today, wikis are used for a wide range of purposes, from collaborative writing and knowledge management to project management and online communities. must check my bio

How did the word wiki originate?
WikiWikiWeb was the first site to be called a wiki. Ward Cunningham started developing WikiWikiWeb in 1994, and installed it on the Internet domain c2.com on March 25, 1995. It was named by Cunningham, who remembered a Honolulu International Airport counter employee telling him to take the "Wiki Wiki" shuttle bus that runs between the airport's terminals. According to Cunningham, "I chose wiki-wiki as an alliterative substitute for 'quick' and thereby avoided naming this stuff quick-web." Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki#History
