Congrats Anael my brain thinks of you as a famous french artist. 
in fact there is no special meaning, except the story of it :
I was still a student, 10 years ago, some friends wanted me to try role playing game with them, it was not really my thing,
but I started searching a name for a character, without success, I go to sleep frustrated and later in the middle of the night I woke up with a name in loop in my head, impossible to sleep, so I write it on a piece of paper.
In the morning I read : "Galogan Maratis".
I didn't like role playing game, but I liked "Maratis" so I named my in-progress 3d engine like that, I don't know why my brain picked this name.
]]>What does Maratis mean?
I've been wondering the same thing myself. I am wondering if it has anything to do with that Marat painting, being as Anael is French? Am I right?
