It was Army's Paeon in FFXI though, as well, I believe.

The name itself could be a play on words though, which is why it is what it is. Paeans are composed of paeons, and paeon referencing each measure (foot) could be taken as a literal foot, so we would end up with a reference to an army moving by foot (marching).

I know I'm stretching a bit here with the meaning, but who knows.
