Why is the Postgres C library called libpq instead of libpg?
Question
Everything in the Postgres world has common abbreviation pg , and it seems more logical to call Postgres' c-library libpg , rather than libpq . Why is it called libpq ? Is libpg already taken by another tool?

From https://pgolub.wordpress.com/2010/09/21/libpq-stands-for/ , credited to Bruce Momjian:
Libpq is called 'libpq' because of the original use of the QUEL query language, ie lib Post-QUEL. We have a proud backward-compatibility history with this library.
