It's from the Greek 'idios' meaning own, private. From that the etymology suggests ignorance and from that low intelligence giving us the modern derivation of idiot (and any attendant socio-cultural associations).

Here I'm using it in the sense of doing my own thing where I'm not feeling particularly bound by how other shells work.

YMMV

You do you. Just pointing it out in case it hadn't occurred to you. I can't say how likely people are to interpret "Idio" one way or the other, or how important it is to you. It is your project, after all. (I don't mean this comment to be antagonizing...)
