Perhaps another way to explain it would be an envelope is like a container, and whatever you put inside the container most conform to it's shape. You may want to see how they translate Envelope in audio programs like Audacity perhaps (it's a similar concept there).

Or maybe it has more to do with the verb "envelope" as in "wrap > around" or "surround". Maybe it's someone's name. 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.
