My understanding is that the name 'Isadora' is an anadrome of 'Arodasi' a mythical place where the population of projection experts run backwards. I believe the creator of 'Arodasi' (really pronounced Isadora) comes from such a place and the software is named in for that honour.

Best Wishes,

I'd always assumed (or had seen somewhere and forgotten where) that it was after the dancer, Isadora Duncan!

Me too. I feel it is a reference to the long, flowing silk costumes that she used to augment her movement.
