Anyone know where the name came from? It happens to be my last name and it's really amusing me reading the docs and these comments.

  I can tell you your last name means "wheel" in greek (ρόδα). Maybe it's a "Ruby on Wheels" wordplay of some sort?

    It means wheel in portuguese too (and probably spanish).

      I knew this word (though I did not know it means wheel) because of the Roda in Capoeira. (It's like a drum circle with dancing acrobats!) Off-topic...

  The name Roda comes from the Ys video game series, in which the Roda trees play a small role. I'm a huge Ys fan.

    Cool, I may have to check them out. At the least this gives me a reason to stop putting off learning ruby :)
