More likely Ikarus was chosen as a code name from Icarus of Greek mythology.

Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
They stood and Earth's foundations stay;
What God abandoned these defended;
And saved the sum of things for pay.

It was, though given the story about the flight of Ikarus perhaps not really a good one....
