Meaning of Opeth?

[MancuZ28]

Sorry if this is a dumb question or has been asked 1000 times, but is there any meaning to the bands name? I'm sure there must be something to it....anyone know?

it comes from 'opet', the name of a city in wilbur smith's book 'sunbird'. i guess they added the h because it sounds cooler
