[b]1. Hindu Mythology. the descent of a deity to the earth in an incarnate form or some manifest shape; the incarnation of a god.
2. an embodiment or personification, as of a principle, attitude, or view of life.[/b]
I think from definition #2 it came about - as it is an image which represents the user.... either their image or some THING which represents their likes or their likeness.
eventually they came out with a third definition:
3. Computers. a graphical image that represents a person, as on the Internet.
I got the definitions from www.dictionary.com
