Why so many companies use "CYma" or "KYma"?

I guess I need an English lesson. I tried googling it, but perhaps my search skills are low.

I've noticed a theme among developers, loop vendors, and others that seem to gravitate to using CYMA or KYMA or something like that in their name. What is that about?

    Seems like something that would resonate with audio developers. (pun intended)

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cymatics
    Cymatics (from Ancient Greek: κῦμα, romanized: kŷma, lit. 'wave') is a subset of modal vibrational phenomena. The term was coined by Swiss physician Hans Jenny (1904–1972). Typically the surface of a plate, diaphragm, or membrane is vibrated, and regions of maximum and minimum displacement are made visible in a thin coating of particles, paste, or liquid.[1] Different patterns emerge in the excitatory medium depending on the geometry of the plate and the driving frequency.

    Oh dang. I guess my search skills really are that bad.
    Thanks for showing me that!

    I wouldn't have found anything searching for just those four letters, but Kymatica came to mind, so I searched for cymatic and autocomplete did the rest.

    KYMA is a classic, advanced modular software DSP system with dedicated DSP hardware and control software running on desktop machines.
    It was long considered the best virtual synthesis environment and quite expensive.
    It exists since ages and I'd be very surprised if not many people here would know it from the past.

    They still exist, and here's their latest system:
