Does anyone know why Agda is called Agda? I realize the name is based
on the 1999 "Agda 1" by Catarina Coquand, but what was the meaning of
the original name? Is it an acronym (I noticed that some of the early
papers spell it AGDA)? Or is it someone's name? I looked at some of
the Agda 1 materials, but found no explanation.

Just curious, -- Peter
