I think these formats were developed around the time of beta Win95,
code-named "Chicago". Other projects were named after cities
or puns of cities. I recall other CD formats of Romeo and Joliet
(as in the city in Illinois) that allowed long-style Windows filenames
on older ISO9660 discs. The Unix equivalent trick is Rock Ridge.
Mapquest.com didn't find an El Torito city in the USA, though,
so perhaps they named it after any number of Mexican restaurants.

is a good guide to all this.
