What is the full-form of FEniCS? I tried looking on https://fenicsproject.org/about/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FEniCS_Project but I didn't find anything.

Thanks,

Nachiket

FEniCS is an acronym with FE representing finite element, CS representing computational software, and according to Anders Logg, a Senior Research Scientist with the FEniCS Project, "ni sits nicely in the middle". Andy Terrel also notes that the FEniCS software package was originally compiled at the University of Chicago, whose mascot is a phoenix, which likely inspired the name. A discussion of the topic can be found on the FEniCS launchpad.

You can consider that unofficial though, in my opinion at least!
