Marek Španěl has written a new entry in the Developer's blog about the name of the game "ArmA".
As we're quickly approaching the release of ARMA 2 , the third instalment in Bohemia Interactive's award winning series of military PC simulations, it's a good time to clarify some things about the name and also explain why using Armed Assault 2 is wrong or why Arma is not a cheesy weird name as some English-centric souls may believe!
The meaning of Arma Arma is originally a Latin word: arma (genitive armōrum); n pl, second declension (plural only; not used in singular form) 1. defensive arms, armor/armour, shields, weapons of war. 2. war 3. soldiers, military power 4. defence 5. tools (Source: wiktionary.org, where you can also find the meaning of the word in other languages. There are quite some other meanings, for example I remember that in the Czech Army, soldiers used the word "arma" for a small food shop usually available near their barracks. There is also a small village Arma in Kansas, but how that can be related to our game I simply don't know. )
