[edit] XARA

The name change according to the company website http://www.xara.com/history.asp

Where did the name come from? I saw a girl called Zara on TV and thought that was an unusual name. 
But decided to make it bit more unusual by putting an X in place of the Z, so a bit like Xerox. 
This had the benefit of being short, unusual, most importantly trademarkable around the world, 
and one where we could get the domain name. The downside is that we're always at the end of any
alphabetical list!"
