Behind the Name: Why "iSterna"

When it came time to name our company, we knew we didn’t want something ordinary. We wanted a name that carried meaning—capturing both intelligence and vision, adaptable across disciplines, resonating deeply with the future of human-centered AI. That’s how iSterna was born.

The "Sterna" Bird: Agile, Visionary, and Tireless

The word "Sterna" refers to a genus of seabirds—graceful, agile, and astonishing in their navigational abilities. These birds are renowned for epic migrations, guided by instinct and precision. For us, Sterna symbolizes how intelligent systems should behave: adaptable yet reliable, light yet far-reaching, and always moving purposefully toward clear goals.Much like these birds, the solutions we build and services we provide at iSterna navigate complexity elegantly — crossing industries, platforms, and use cases, always anchored in purpose and performance.

The "i" Factor: Intelligence + Innovation

The lowercase "i" at the start of iSterna signifies intelligence—both artificial and human. It embodies innovation, insight, and individualization, essential traits for the new AI-driven era.This "i" also gently nods to familiar tech conventions (think iPhone, iPad), signaling user-friendly, intuitive and accessible technology, and emphasizing our commitment to creating intelligent systems that genuinely serve people.

A Quiet Nod to LLMs and the Language of Birds

In the world of large language models (LLMs), there’s a quiet tradition of naming models after birds—BERT, Falcon, Sparrow. While unintentional initially, iSterna beautifully aligns with this tradition: a symbolic bird reimagined through the lens of AI-powered solutions, services that drive digital transformation.We may not build LLMs from scratch, but we harness their power to craft solutions and services that amplify human potential, accelerate insights, and foster connections—just like birds bridging continents through flight.
