ser·​en·​dip·​i·​ty | \ ˌser-ən-ˈdi-pə-tē

  • an unplanned fortunate discovery, unexpected discovery or fortunate chance
    Etymology: coined by Horace Walpole (1717-92) who formed it from the Persian fairy tale "The Three Princes of Serendip," whose heroes "were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things they were not in quest of." The name is from Serendip, an old name for Ceylon (modern Sri Lanka), from Arabic Sarandib, from Sanskrit Simhaladvipa "Dwelling-Place-of-Lions Island."

Sue’s brother suggested the name Serendipity for the stable when he saw what she created.
