XRP was called Ripple!

Some might not know, but back in the day XRP was originally called Ripples. This was back in the day of 2012.

Rippling In the XRP Ledger, "rippling" describes a process of atomic net settlement between multiple connected parties who have trust lines for the same currency. Rippling is an essential part of issued currencies, because it allows users who trust the same issuer to send issued balances to each other with the issuer as a passive intermediary. In a sense, rippling is like a passive, two-way currency exchange order with no limit and a 1:1 exchange rate for two currencies with the same currency code but different issuers. Rippling only occurs along the paths of a payment. Direct XRP-to-XRP payments do not involve rippling. For non-issuing accounts, rippling can be undesirable because it lets other users shift obligations between issuers of the same currency. Thus, the No Ripple Flag disables rippling on incoming trust lines by default, unless the account enables rippling by default by enabling the Default Ripple flag.
