It is the default name when discourse is setup for the first time. For me the main reason not to change the name, is that _meta_ has another meaning in Julia (e.g. _meta_programming).

There was some discussion about this in the beginning [Discussion categories - #12 by jameson](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/discussion-categories/85/12)
