For possible etymological inspiration, let's talk about why modRana is called modRana.
The modRana project started back in 2010 as a fork of
Rana
, which apparently means "moon/wanderer" in some foreign language according to the original author.
As my fork was a modification of the original Rana software I've called modRana. But there is also another reason - there was traditionally a lot of blue color in the Rana/modRana GUI and blue translates as "modrá" in Czech. This is the second, kinda hidden meaning of the name, which can be approximately translated as "the blue one" in Czech.
