"The name Omarchy appears to be a portmanteau of Arch, the Linux 
distribution that Hansson’s configuration is based upon, and お任せ, which 
translates to omakase and means to leave something up to someone else (任せ
る, makaseru, to entrust). When ordering omakase in a restaurant, you’re 
leaving it up to the chef to serve you whatever they think is best. 
Oma(kase) + (A)rch + y is supposedly where the name comes from."

I haven't seen Hansson explain the name. He might be right.

The Anarchy installer is more explicit :)
