Does anyone know what the acronym IDEA stand for? I would assume Integrated Development Environment, then maybe Application? Also does Intellij stand for anything?

Maxim Shafirov (the CEO of JetBrains), made the following comment prior to 2005, in a now deleted official JetBrains news article, published online:
I have always thought that it's a play on words that (1) it's an IDE, and (2) "idea" is a nice sounding word which contains "IDE".

So, based on the only thing I've seen that looks like actual evidence, I think a good answer may be "it probably isn't intended to mean anything"
