No it is not someone's name it has to do with both the things you've
mentioned - wrapping around or surrounding - and an envelope to send a
letter is about 'wrapping around the letter'.
Envelope deformations are about changing the shape of the object by
putting it or 'forcing it' inside an envelope.
Hope this helps.
