It's interesting that the yiddish word for expert is spelled similar to maven, which is also means expert in English.

The English word 'maven' has Yiddish origin.

It's interesting to me that they used a Yiddish word, in an industry that starts at India, travels thru China and Korea, and finally ends at Americans whose probability of being Jewish is low. It just seems like an odd choice from the available wordspace.
