  1. Sound good;
  2. Easily pronounceable in Croatian and English;
  3. Have something to do with books.
The name Sigil fits all of these. At least IMO.
I thought maybe it alluded to "magic ePub editor".

"A sigil is usually made up of a complex combination of several specific symbols or geometric figures each with a specific meaning or intent."
