It's a package manager ...

I always presumed it was short for pachyderm manakin. But perhaps Trilby is onto something here...

pachyderm manure?

It's a anagram of "Allan broke it" written by someone with particularly bad dyslexia.

Well, "libalpm and pacman" is an anagram for "pimp allan can b mad".

The original Japanese title of Puck Man was derived from the Japanese phrase paku paku taberu, which refers to gobbling something up; the title was changed to Pac-Man for the North American release.

Hmmm… I wonder why nobody wanted to paint "Puck Man" onto an arcade machine… but I'd know where I'd rub a rejected coin
