The domain was a gift by the founders of inode (former Austrian ISP) and the website grew pretty fast after the brand change in 1999.
But it curiously turned out that while Austrians mostly like the name (notable exeptions were delusional marketing people of "premium brands" considering advertising on the site), Germans are really not so fond of it. Cultural differences, I suppose.
