## Name

This project has not yet been named. It will [not](https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs/issues/470) be named IPFS. "Pomegranate" is a temporary codename. Please [propose a name, and/or vote for a name idea here](https://github.com/ipfs/pomegranate/issues/3).
Helia (HEE-lee-ah) is the Latin spelling of Ἡλιη -- in Greek mythology, one of the Heliades: the daughters of the sun god Helios. When their brother Phaethon died trying to drive the sun chariot across the sky, their tears of mourning fell to earth as amber, which is yellow (sort of), and so is JavaScript. They were then turned into poplar trees and, well, JavaScript is quite popular.
