Re: Academic audio

Advent is a little bit of a stretch, but its derivation in the speaker is legal, not religious. When a company first starts up it is referred to by the attorneys as "an advent company". Henry Kloss liked the term and took it as the company name. It means a coming or arrival, which is also what it signifies in the Christian sense.

I left it in because of your genesis, which also has dual meanings. Loosly, I thought they fell into the philosophical class, rather than mathematical or technical. Both are no more scientific than some others, but they are not in the class of superlatives that many companies picked.

I thought that was a fun exercise, and I'm sure we missed a couple.

The most popular names seem to be either some combination of audio, sonic, vox or voice, or phase or someone's name and not always the founder. Fourier, Bell, and Gauss, for example.
