I don't think the "UI Toolkit" Flutter you know today was from an acquisition. Eric Seidel (leading the Flutter team at Google) mentioned in a video that they needed a name for the project and they used a name from one of their acquisitions. As verifying that a name is available in most important countries is expensive and time-consuming, they just went through their internal database of available names and this is how they picked Flutter. I couldn't find a link to the video right now.

What was the main product of the original Flutter?

I found this [https://flutterapp.com/], but I don't quite understand what the product was.
Edit: Found this [https://flutter.en.softonic.com/mac]. It uses webcam to detect motion gestures.

Interesting. I suppose "Sky" (original name of Flutter) would've been pretty hard to market.
