Why is a convex mirror called a diverging mirror?

If the convex surface of a sphere acts as the reflector, that is if the regular reflection of light takes place from the convex surface of the spherical mirror, then it is called a convex mirror. 

The convex mirror is a diverging mirror since the parallel beam of light diverges from a point on spreads over and never meets at a point after reflection.
