Mac OS X / OS X / macOS

The internal codenames of Mac OS X 10.0 through 10.2 are big cats.

In Mac OS X 10.2, the internal codename "Jaguar" was used as a public name, and, for subsequent Mac OS X releases, big cat names were used as public names through until OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion", and wine names were used as internal codenames through until OS X 10.10 "Syrah".

For OS X releases beginning with 10.9, and for macOS releases, landmarks in California were used as public names.

For OS X releases beginning with 10.11, and for macOS releases, varieties of apples were used as internal code names.
