While true, this does not answer the question. The question was about the origin of the name, not its meaning.

Q: "What are the two systems/entities that are interfacing?", A: "The two systems are then your code, and outside code". I'm happy to delete my answer, but at least let me know what's wrong.

If you carefully read OP's question, there are too many mixed concepts there. OP's minding about Java interface and the generic concept of interface, which is not related to Java at all. And your answer doesn't provide a solution for either of them. And no, an interface doesn't link any code at all, that's not the work of interface.
