Another reason is the French word voila. As in "Voila! That's how you do
it!"

We'll never know, Jürg has so far denied any guess we made at
conferences and meetings.

Which means that Vala comes from Vala Mal Doran. I mean, woah!
  
My guess is from Tolkein: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vala_(Middle-earth)

Dude, you just ruined the "Jürg digs Vala Mal Doran"-idea. You realize
what you've just done? All the fun we could have had at conferences? 

All gone now!
