This name originates from the Bulgarian " жици" ( wires).
In 2011, after successfully adding support for audio and video communication over XMPP's Jingle extensions, the project was renamed to Jitsi since it was no longer "a SIP only Communicator". In 2009, Emil Ivov founded the BlueJimp company which has employed some of Jitsi's main contributors in order to offer professional support and development services related to the project.
It was released as an example video phone in the JAIN-SIP stack and later became an independent project. Work on Jitsi (then SIP Communicator) started in 2003as a student project by Emil Ivov at the University of Strasbourg. Jitsi is supportefd by various institutions such as the NLnet Foundation, the University of Strasbourg and the Region of Alsace and it has participated multiple times on Google Summer of Code program. Other projects are: Jigasi, lib-jitsi-meet, Jidesha, and Jitsi. Jitsi also operates, a version of Jitsi Meet hosted by Jitsi for free to be used by the community. Later the team added Jitsi Meet, a full video conferencing application that includes web, Android, and iOS clients.
With the growth of WebRTC, the Jitsi team decided to focus on Jitsi Videobridge for doing web-based video calling for multiple people. The Jitsi project started with Jitsi Desktop (previously known as SIP Communicator). Jitsi is a group of free and open-source voice (VoIP), videoconferencing and instant messaging for many platforms, like the web platform, Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android.
