My guess here is... someone thought it was a neat name, and if not anything else, way better then "EPOC" or "ER".

Why is your name thota?

Let me guess....because it was produced by Symbian Ltd. and they thought that giving its OS their company's name would be a good marketing strategy to promote the company's brand-name!!

My best guess would also be regarding the branding issue. If I had a company then I would have also tried branding the products around its names... So the reason has to be the brand...
