About Tuna Runa |
| First, what does Tuna Runa mean and why is Dr. Bernal so interested in fish? Tuna Runa actually means "small people" in Quechua. Quechua is a language spoken in South American. Dr. Bernal's father comes from Bolivia in South America and her grandmother actually speaks Quechua. "Tuna" means small and "Runa" means people. |
Jabba the Hutt  |
Factoid: In the Star Wars movies, the Hutt's (like The Jabba the Hutt) were actually speaking a verision of Quechua!

| Dr. Bernal chose the words Tuna Runa for the technology space because it is simple to remember, it means something, and there are not inappropriate sites with a similar name. |
