Peyote stitch is super old, at least back to ancient Egypt, and has loads of different names depending on time and place. The little man who lives in my phone says the current name comes from the Kiowa and Comanche, picked up by colonizers in the 1800s.

I think Kandi has its name because finished bead projects kinda look like candy, but I'm not sure about peyote

This is also just a guess, I haven't actually researched it or anything
