Officially, OMR is a meaningless title, like LLVM. Similar to LLVM, it once stood for something, but then we realized that it didn't actually match the project's 'charter' quite as well as we had hoped... but had grown fond of the name (also... finding new names is super hard).

Original definition was 'Open Managed Runtimes', but we can do more than just managed runtimes with OMR technology, and so that seemed to sell it short.
