Three reasons this one's been sitting in the cart longer than it should have.
Tofu, translated.
"Tokwa" is the Tagalog word for tofu — the same idea OpenTofu built a whole project name around, just one language over. Recognizable to anyone in on the reference, and a clean, distinct word to anyone who isn't.
The open-* namespace.
OpenTofu, OpenTelemetry, OpenSearch, OpenAI — "Open-" is the established prefix for community tools and open standards. This one fits the pattern and isn't taken.
Short, sayable, spellable.
Four syllables, no hyphens, no numbers, nothing to misspell out loud on a call or a conference stage.
