Naming your product

How did you come up with a name for your product? For us at Aviyel, a platform for open source projects, it is named after a south Indian delicacy which is a mix of several veggies. It denotes people with various backgrounds (designers, developers, advocates, Product Managers, etc.) that are needed to sustain open source.
