Why not add a short paragraph about the "etymology"?
The name "Ipe" is older than the program itself. When I made figures for my papers using Idraw in 1992, I was annoyed that I had to store two versions of each figure: one with Latex text, one with Postscript information. I came up with a file format that I called "Ipe", for "Integrated Picture Environment", and which was at the same time legal Latex source code and a legal Postscript file.
