Just out of idle curiosity and Google didn't give me an answer, but what does the EH stand for in EHCache?

Ehcache (/ˈiːeɪtʃkæʃ/ EE-aytch-kash) is an open source Java distributed cache for general-purpose caching, Java EE and light-weight containers. Ehcache is available under an Apache open source license. Ehcache.
ehcache. hibernate under Mbeans tab. Click on the CacheRegionStats Clicking on it will open bring up the screen on the right. Double click on top section and it brings up the tabular navigation as shown below.
ehcache. overflowToDisk — Sets whether the disk store persists to disk between restarts of the Java Virtual Machine. The default value is true.
EhCache is a widely used, pure Java cache that can be easily integrated with most popular Java frameworks, such as Spring and Hibernate. It is often considered to be the most convenient choice for Java applications since it can be integrated into projects easily.
It doesn't really stand for anything. It makes the name a palindrome, so that "Ehcache" reads the same both backwards and forwards, and also evokes the fact that ehcache relies heavily on doubly-linked lists, a data structure that can be traversed both backwards and forwards.
From the Ehcache user guide:
Adam Murdoch (an all round top Java coder) came up with the name in a moment of inspiration while we were stuck on the SourceForge project create page. Ehcache is a palindrome. He thought the name was wicked cool and we agreed.
The logo is similarly symmetrical, and is evocative of the diagram symbol for a doubly-linked list. That structure lies at the heart of ehcache.
