The name Abaris (not an acronym)

In Greek mythology, Abaris the Hyperborean, son of Seuthes, was a legendary sage, healer, and priest of Apollo known to the Ancient Greeks. He was said to be endowed with the gift of prophecy, and by this as well as by his Scythian dress, simplicity, and honesty he created great sensation in Greece, and was held in high esteem. Abaris travelled with an arrow, symbolizing Apollo, eating no food and known to produce healing cures to those he laid his hands upon. (Source: Wikipedia)
