Stambia
The solution to all your data integrations needs
What does "Stambia" mean ?
The word Stambia comes from the Sanskrit word “Stambha” (
) which means “the pillar”.
In a more general way, at a certain time in history, the verb “Stambh” was used in the vocabulary of architecture and buildings and meant support or strengthen.
We internationalized the word, replacing the h by the i.
“Stambia” is the centerpiece which enables the whole to keep together and stand straight. It is the keystone of the Information System, the component on which the data architecture relies and which governs it.
Looking for a name is no easy task, especially if like us, you would like this name to be cross-cultural, exportable, and easy to pronounce on every continent.
What’s more, if you want this name to be short (2 or 3 syllables), and to be still available among the more classical domain names (such as .com, .org, etc.), the challenge is about to take up all your evenings for the next few months ;).
Our research began in the « Gaffiot ». This is a very thick Latin-French dictionary, the reference book for any Latin lover. Usually, it will be found in any literate person’s bookshelves, but it could also have been used to replace a missing foot on your favorite cabinet. 1719 pages later… we had not reached our heart’s desire. Time to turn to the next dictionary: the « Bailly », from ancient Greek to French. Off we go, for a 2229 page-long trip!
That’s where you understand the amount of courage and motivation needed to create a company ;-). But good things come to those who wait. Well, waiting must here be understood as an active task. The words patience and determination would be more appropriate.
Aristotle’s language was no more successful than that of Horace. It was by pure accident that our eyes fell on a completely different dictionary, which was not waiting patiently for us in the bookshelf but on the web.
Google, let’s give it the glory it deserves, led us to a “Sanskrit to French” dictionary.
Counting in pages is no longer adapted, since we are on Internet, but let's say there were hours of research, and, I must admit, very interesting discoveries in a language that I only knew by the Indian restaurant that I regularly went to ;-).
The word Tandoori not having drawn our attention, let’s come back to our story… Chance finally led us to the word "Stambha" whose definition, which is the subject of another paragraph, fitted our vision.
Finding a name is just like innovation. It requires clear objectives and a certain determination, but it also involves the desire to search, and a little dose of luck while running down rabbit trails.
Good luck to all seekers, whether word, idea or novelty!
