Why the name Mojo?

I am really curious why this name was chosen. Is it an acronym or is it just a random name?

Mojo in english means magical amulet or super powers. This name was chosen, cause Mojo is aiming to add easily accessible low level control for the programmer (optimizatioms at library level, access to MLIR and so on)

I didn't think it was this literal, thank you!

haha I can guess Modular => Python (magic methods, powerful easy to use) but with the power of the low level => ¿Magic? too generic => Modular == Mojo which means magic 😄
