Since everyone is making theories here, let me also come up with one:
Trinity could be a portmaneau of "three" and "eternity". As in, KDE3
forever :)

I highly doubt the programmers who forked KDE at the
time would have tied the identity of their new software to an irrelevant religious
preference. It just seems silly. The word trinity comes from "tri" which comes
from "three" and it probably does not go a whole lot deeper than that.
tde-meta does include a Bible studying app as you mentioned, but it is an optional
install and just one of several miscellaneous tools thrown in.
The easiest explanation for Bibletime is that someone thought it was useful, made it, it
spread, and it became a part of tde-meta. Much like the dozens of cloned games.

I understand that the name was picked due to the

https://www.trinitydesktop.org/about.php:
"The name Trinity was chosen partly because the word means "three" and
TDE was a continuation of KDE 3. TDE now is its own computer desktop environment
project."
It says that the name was picked only *partly* due to the word meaning three, so what
was the other reason/part? Is it the Christian trinity?
Also the reason I think that the desktop was named after the Christian trinity is the
fact it has a first-party, pre-installed Bible study app called Bible Time
"bibletime"
Just really curious, hopefully someone has the full answer (preferably the founder
himself lol).
