amaya

Amaya is a proper noun of Basque origin used as both a given name and a surname. It is found in Basque-speaking regions and in Spanish-speaking countries, where it is used for females as a given name and as a surname among people of Basque heritage. Notable people with the name include Amaya Valdemoro, a Spanish former professional basketball player, who helped raise the profile of the name in international sports.

In the field of technology, Amaya refers to a pioneering web authoring tool and browser project developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in collaboration with Inria. First released in the late 1990s, Amaya combined a browser with an integrated HTML/CSS editor and XML/SGML tools, functioning as a testbed and reference implementation for web standards. It supported technologies such as HTML, CSS, and the Document Object Model, and was used primarily for research, education, and demonstrations of standards-based authoring and browsing. The project was gradually scaled back and eventually discontinued in the early 2010s, with no active maintenance since then.
