​About the name!

originally Dorico was the code name for the program, but in time we failed to find a better name for the program, and the name stuck. However, please don’t pronounce it like the name of a corn chip!

Lots of good things about this software (it seems), but the prices are really absurd.

Spanish for Dorian?

As a name it is almost as esoteric as Lilypond. It reminds me of the we're-not-leaving-until-we-have-a-name meeting the a male cappella group I was in had. Pablo Fanques and the Blue Notes was soon abbreviated to Pablo, and turned out to be a great name, as is Lilypond, and (once we get used to it, hopefully) Dorico.
