The Name

The name "Miranda" comes for the play The Tempest by William Shakespeare.  Miranda is basically a Java port of a system called Prospero which was written by Chris Chew at eCollege and later released to open source as "subpub".

In the play Miranda is the daughter of Prospero so the name naturally presented itself.   I never liked "subpub" anyways.
