Why `dm` prefix?

I have a question after reading some of the Defold engine code: Why is the dm prefix used in some places? For example, dmsdk, dmMessage, dmMath?

The engine was at the very beginning called Dynamo, and dm was a kind of abbreviation. Not sure exactly when Defold was introduced, but the first mention in the commit history was in 2011:

“Changed cache directory from dynamo to defold”
