What's the full name of command "df"?
 
du - estimate file space usage
df - report file system disk space usage

I think du is short for "disk usage".
But what about df?

disk free - it reports the free (available) space on your filesystem(s)

df = Disk Free - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Df_(Unix)
du = Disk Usage - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Du_(Unix)
