Well, it uses a "beam" of light to project the image :-)
I guess it's a german specialty, like "handy". An english sounding word
for a thing that has a completely different name in english. We even
have the german word "Projektor", but still most germans insist to call
the projector "beamer".

BTW, handy is the german word for "Mobiltelefon" or mobile or cellular
phone :-)

Sorry for being OT
