There were a couple long threads about the naming. My recollection is
that RMS required that there be a single name and that it not include
the word "emacs". Given those constraints, this is what I picked.
I can dig up references if you want. If we're going to reopen the
naming discussion, I would like to request that everybody go and read
the whole thread for themselves before making suggestions.
