From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Yerk
  
      (After Yerkes Observatory) An {object-oriented}
      language based on a {Forth} {Kernel} with some major
      modifications.   It was originally known as {Neon}, developed
      and sold as a product by {Kriya Systems} from 1985 to 1989.
      Several people at The {University of Chicago} have maintained
      Yerk since its demise as a product.   Because of possible
      trademark conflict they named it Yerk, which is not an acronym
      for anything, but rather stands for Yerkes Observatory, part
      of the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at U of C.
  
      Version 3.62.
  
      {(ftp://oddjob.uchicago.edu/pub/Yerk/)}.
