What is the difference between a popup and a popover (i.e. NSPopupButton vs UIPopoverController)?

I was just wondering why the name popover was chosen vs a hypothetical UIPopupController.

+1  A: 

It's popping over the UI at a non-deterministic location depending on available space. It's not popping up at a certain location.
