Ubuntu uses animal names as codename for releases.

Breezy Badger being already used (before they moved to incrementinf letter based system - having done hoary hedgehog and waryy warthog.

It wasn't until the first LTS version, dapper drake, that the letters started matching the release number. The second LTS, or 8th release overall - Hardy Heron, in April 2008, was the second "hh" version.

Shockingly we still have 6 hardy heron boxes on our network in far flung locations.
