I think it’s a reference to Francis Bacons’ “Instauratio Magna” (“The Great Instauration”), though I am not sure why we would have chosen “Magnum” instead of “Magna” as the spelling.
The Latin noun “instauratio” is feminine, so “magna” uses the feminine “-a” ending to agree with it. “forum” in Latin is neuter, so “magnum” would be the corresponding form of the adjective. (All assuming nominative case.)
Just out of curiosity, is the name “ForumMagnum” an anatomical pun?
Lol, no, but that is kind of hilarious.

Huh, I learned something today about the name of my own Forum. Thank you!
