Your guess is pretty good, Chris. Several ships (at least in Holland)
do carry this name. It has a bit of a religious background.
On one occasion I know that the name was adopted by a newly wed couple
who also had bought a ship at the time of their wedding. "Started our
journey together" was what they meant to express.
