Why are Jedi called Jedi?

I was once a Star Wars SME (Subject Matter Expert). I am old enough to be most people's mother on here lol, and I will tell you I actually saw the original Star Wars 37 times in the movie theatre within the first couple months of its release...NO JOKE.

I have always attempted to come up with a good acronym for Jedi, but there are too many. But, because I don't like morons or rude people (Really despise them), my latest would be Justice Eradicating Douchebags and Ignorance

Hidden Fortress was an awesome film; especially for its time. I actually drew Anthony Bourdain into a conversation about the movie.

I replied to a twitter comment regarding either Star Wars or movie suggestions from Anthony Bourdain by mentioning "Hidden Fortress", which happened to be one of his favorite films.

I went to a private seminar he was speaking at, and my best friend's mother provided me with a ticket. He remembered my Hidden Fortress comment and discussed the film and went off on a tangent with him making a self deprecating comment about him being a failed romantic..

I like his narrative style and philosophy on life without being preachy or arrogant about it. However, you could tell that the way he talks to people is almost automated from how many interviews & social events he had been involved in. You could say that it sort of got me jaded with the only celebrity I had ever cared to pay attention to.
