I don't follow ARM (...Sorry Jon Masters...) but from a cursory glance 
at the Wikipedia, it looks like that's the name of the instruction set 
that ARM themselves gave it: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture#64.2F32-bit_architecture

So it makes sense to anybody who works in that space, and temporarily 
confuses the willies out of us poor x86 saps.
