Name Reason for Giant IT's

>> Saturday, January 2, 2010

I like to share the name reasons for some of the computer field industry oriented companies and institutions.
And this would be continued in my oncoming posts.

Adobe: Adobe is a name of Creek runs behind the house of John Warnock Co-founder of Adobe Systems. The name Adobe is assigned to the company after the creek name.

Apple:  For the favorite fruit of co-founder Steve Jobs and/or for the time he worked at an apple orchard, and to distance itself from the cold, unapproachable, complicated imagery created by other computer companies at the time – which had names such as IBM, DEC, Cincom and Tesseract.

Ebay: Pierre Omidyar, who had created the Auction Web trading website, had formed a web consulting concern called Echo Bay Technology Group. "Echo Bay" didn't refer to the town in Nevada, "It just sounded cool", Omidyar reportedly said. Echo Bay Mines Limited, a gold mining company, had already taken EchoBay.com, so Omidyar registered what (at the time) he thought was the second best name: eBay.com.

Epson: Epson Seiko Corporation, the Japanese printer and peripheral manufacturer, was named from "Son of Electronic Printer"
