About the Name Bill Venners came up with the name "Artima" in 1992, when he was working with two other partners on an educational software product. He constructed the name by extracting two letters each from three verbs: learn, think, and imagine.These three verbs captured what Bill and his partners hoped the educational software product would inspire their customers to do--to learn, think, and imagine. Thus, the company name, "Artima," represented the company's mission. In addition, splitting the name in the middle yielded "Art Ima". Ima in Japanese means now, so the name could also be interpreted as the command, "Art Now!" This seemed cool, so the partners agreed they would eventually use the name Artima Software Company for their partnership. In 1993, however, the partnership dissolved and Bill Venners bought the rights to the Artima name. He registered the name in Santa Clara County, California and began doing custom software development and consulting as Artima Software Company. In early 2000, he incorporated Artima Software Company, which then became known as Artima Software, Inc.
