Company Name Etymologies
At Wikipedia (one of my new favorite sites), there’s a page of company names and their origins explained:
- Casio – from the name of its founder, Kashio Tadao who had set up the company Kashio Seisakujo as a subcontractor factory.
- Cisco – short for San Francisco.
- Coca-Cola – Coca-Cola’s name is derived from the coca leaves and kola fruits used as flavoring. Coca-Cola creator John S. Pemberton changed the ‘K’ of kola to ‘C’ for the name to look better.
- Coleco – began as the Connecticut Leather Company.
- Colgate-Palmolive – formed from a merger of soap manufacturers Colgate & Company and Palmolive-Peet. The Peet was dropped in 1953; “Palmolive” was named for the two oils used in its manufacture.
