[Bacula-users] What's the meaning of the name "Bacula" ?

[Diogo Melo]

 Just for Curiosity, what's the meaning of the name "Bacula" ? Is this a kind of a bat? I've search the meaning of that word in google and I've just found the Bacula software...
 And how do we pronounce it? Is the strong syllable bacula, ba cula or bacula?

Thanks!! :-)
