Is that the Turkish word "Zıpkın" (harpoon)?

Well, the logo of the project is a harpoon, so it's a safe bet.
I guess.
just checked the commit history, no one is turkish there. Possibly git history might have been cleared before making it public.

We came up with the name by putting all kinds of words into Google translate and making sure they weren't trademarked. Zipkin seemed short and sweet and wasn't widely used before.
dotCloud has an internal tracing tool called zerotracer, but we don't yet have a visualization layer...
