Interestingly enough, supposedly Armed Assault was supposed to be the series' title but at the time there was also a game called Armored Assault out there, hence ArmA instead.

The first title after opflashpoint, technically arma 2 was named arma: armed assault too, but I hear offcially its now the latin word for arms they use.

I believe some of the confusion comes from the Arma logo design. In every Arma logo it has a larger first and last letter to look more symmetrical.

Bohemia recycled the streamlined Operation Flashpoint: Elite engine and set about making Armed Assault, which would become Arma in order not to clash with a US game called Armored Assault. "In the company, everyone hated the name," Španel reveals, but it was late in development so he steamrolled it through. It means "war" in Latin anyway, he shrugs, so it's not that bad, although Germans and Russians apparently can't deal with a title that isn't an English word, so still refer to Arma 3 as Armed Assault 3.
