We went through a lot of iterations on what they should be called. They were originally called Fibers, but since they were extremely thread like it was decided they should be actual threads, so they should be some type of thread. Once that decision was made the question then becomes which adjective to add to Thread, and things like LightWeight, Small, etc. were ruled out as smaller or more lightweight threads might be introduced in the future.
