Although the only ever official explanation reaches new heights of unbelievable lameness, the secret of the actual Bungie name has become so closely guarded, that even a few Grizzled Ancients either don't know or aren't sure if it's true.
There truly is a very strange reason for the company being called “Bungie,” and we daren't reveal it here. There are…penalties leveled at those who reveal the deepest secrets.
But the Webmaster has another, more nefarious purpose. One that will not be revealed until it is too late. For you all.
On page 133 of Ghosts of Onyx, Ash gets confronted by one of the sentinels (or drones, as they called them.) They have a little bit of a chat before the thing gets smushed and the drone tells him, "Fhejelet 'Pnught Juber," and, "Fhejelet non sequitur, now?" What does this mean? l was never good at Latin, and nearly failed it in high school. Any one think they know what is means?
Also, while we're musing about this, the phrase chosen by the Sentinel: A non sequitur is something that has no logical or temporal purpose for its place in the progression of events; it is logically, temporally and spatially incoherent. This has probably been posted before, but I didn't bother to read most of the GoO speculation threads
