Source of the name "AURA"

Despite being a relatively forced acronym (AUT RFID Applications), AURA is often used to describe the "active space" around an RFID user or tag. However, Aura was a titian goddess in greek mythology, who was turned into a breeze or possibly a stream after annoying Artemis. The story is here. There is a picture of a representation of her here.
