The BSD in OpenBSD stands for Bain, Savon, Douche, which is probably some form of European language.

My best guess is Estonian, and it likely means something like "be clean upon yourself".

Close! It’s German. Bain means Bane, Savon means upon, and Douche means Dirt, so basically it means “bane upon (your) dirt”
