Where does the Fairphone "Sibon" name come from?

I always asked myself, where that name comes from. Does anyone know?

Maybe it stands for “No BS”?

Or:

Or maybe it’s just an artificial word >deriving from< or rather inspired by the italian words “si” for “yes” and “buono” for good?

I always buy my bread from local bakery chain Nobis

It always makes me think of Siphon…

Maybe someone had a crush on a woman but didn’t know how to spell Siobhan.

Or maybe it was version 7 of the os and someone was really bad in German?

Hahaha, but this is the internal name since the beginning. I recall that, when FP Open wasn’t released but one could compile it from source, the branch was called fp-sibon already and it was 5.x Lollipop!
