It actually is a really good name. But yeah, I had the same confusion.

  A better name for a multi-headed security system would be Cerberus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerberus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerberus

    That might be something they would be willing to change their name to. It's also a commonly used name although probably nowhere near as bad to google as Kerberus.

    I think Siemans has that under the Cerberus Pyrotronics brand.

    Same dog, different language.

      It’s pronounced about the same in either case. “Cerberus” in Latin is pronounced “Kerberus”, just like “cent” is actually pronounced “Kent”.

      Thanks, that I did not know.

        All the Greek patheon have dual Latin/Greek names. Mercury/Hermes etc.

  It's a name that fits the project description well, but it's a very bad name for an open source security-related project. They could have as well named it OpenCV.
