"The program's name is intended to be a play on words. Recording optical media is often known as "burning", while pressed CDs were often referred to as CD-ROMs. The infamous Roman Emperor Nero is said to have played his lyre as Rome burned. This pun is more obvious in the original German as the German name for Rome is Rom. The program logo is an image of the Roman Colosseum in flames, though this is historically inaccurate since the Colosseum had not begun construction at the time of the event."

ROM -> Read Only Memory CD-ROM -> Compact Disc Read Only Memory CD-RW -> Compact Disc Re-Writeable A CD burning software with compatible hardware (aka Nero and a CD burner) will "burn" with a laser onto a CD-ROM or CD-RW. Nero, as stated before, probably stands for the roman emperor that played the lyre while his city burned around him (as rumor speculates).
