The name Daedalus was chosen as this figure from Greek mythology can be considered the world's first practicing technologist and craftsman as described in this excerpt from Bulfinch's Mythology.

Daedalus: Literally, the cunning worker. A personification of skill in mechanical art; the patron of artists' and craftsmen's guilds. As the hero of legends and tales Daedalus was and inventive Athenian, son of Metion and grandson of Erechtheus, who originated axes, awls, bevels and the like. He was the architect who built the Labyrinth for King Minos of Crete. Imprisoned in it himself, Daedalus fashioned wings for himself and his son Icarus and escaped to Sicily. Icarus fell into the sea, but his father (Daedalus) reached Sicily safely.
