There are thousands of failed altcoin projects by now, the names are starting to be like old domain names. The development team acquired the rights to the name from a small abandoned crypto project "Dashcoin" although it was never intended to use the suffix "coin".
Thus we are now DASH, but thanks for watching our backs, it is all taken care of though.

"acquired rights to the name" is really
acquired
