It is true that Ara was designed to work with Ariane at the time, Ara is a colorful bird (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ara_(bird)) which is native to Brazil, and Matheus (who comes from Brazil) was initially developing Ara chose this name for his project. The later vector projects were then subsequently called after a bird, Spatz (our smaller vector unit) is the german name for a sparrow.
