Sorry to post an unrelated question, I don't know where else to ask it.

This is the first time I have heard of Oriam.

I've searched for it and now know about it, but where did the name come from?

 

It’s Latin for Hairy Twat.

ORIAM sounds like a team name from Only Connect or the tag of the latest You Tube sensation. Instead the hope is it will become the finishing school for Scotland’s future Olympians, Six Nations champions and World Cup footballers. The title, dreamt up by focus groups and marketing types, may split opinion – one rather convoluted explanation is that it can be broken down as “I am gold” using the Gaelic word for said precious metal – but the derivation of the name is not hugely significant. This, after all, is about evolution, not etymology.
