What's the story there?

IIRC cart talks a bit about it on this podcast episode! https://rustgamedev.com/episodes/interview-with-carter-anderson-bevy

It's also mentioned at the end of the introduction blog post
https://bevyengine.org/news/introducing-bevy/#join-the-bevy

I want Bevy to become a vibrant developer community ... thats actually why I chose the name! A Bevy is a group of birds, just like we are a group of game developers. Join the Bevy!

But you'll have to listen to the podcast to find out things like when and what was the first bevy. (hint, it's not this game engine)

Ahhhh, you've kickstarted my memory into life again. It's also right here, first page of the Bevy Book:

What's a BEVY?
A bevy is a group of birds!
But Bevy is also a refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust. It is free and open-source forever.

Awesome. Thanks for the info! I'm darn glad to be a bird in the bevy!
