Did you check their website?

Asahi means “rising sun” in Japanese, and it is also the name of an apple cultivar. 旭りんご (asahi ringo) is what we know as the McIntosh Apple, the apple variety that gave the Mac its name.

This is easily answered by looking at the project’s About page.

Why are you capitalizing it as if it was an acronym?

IIRC the reason for the name is that “asahi” is Japanese for apple.
