"Ukulele" is the canonical term, with "ukelele" being a derivation.
Also there is some evidence that the original appearance of the quote

from March 1967 is welcome to prove me wrong.

cb6083f980 flexlint rears its head as well as some style(9) fixes[1]. Fixed a 
few bugs for a few corner cases and correctly handle the case where
read(2) is read()'ing from a non-file descriptor and could get fewer
bytes back than the buffer, but it isn't EOF[2].  random(6) extensively
tested and believed to be bug free (save performance for large files).
