Etymology
Her name, "Cyber Diva", has not been explained by her developers. It is currently unknown how she received the name.

"Diva" is used as a loanword in English to describe females, generally singers, who reach idol status or consider themselves as important. It is a descriptive word that can also be used as girl's name, which is borrowed from archaic Italian, originally meaning "goddess".

Due to the origin of the word "Diva", the name can have more then one meaning when read. It can also be seen as a play on words.

Appearance
Probably aiming to the Western audience and looking for a more professional look, YAMAHA opted for use a simple photo as avatar, without a character concept behind it (similar to Zero-G's Prima and Tonio).
