1、Stories Behind Famous Company Names
Inventor Caleb Bradham had originally wanted to be a doctor but started working in a drug store when he returned home in North Carolina. In 1893, he made up (配制) what he first called "Brad's Drink", a mix of water, caramel, lemon oil and other flavors. Five years later, he renamed it Pepsi-Cola. He claimed the drink could help with digestion (消化). Afterwards, Bradham changed the term into the name Pepsi.
This luxury car-maker combined elements (要素) from the Ford and Oldsmobile companies when it was started in 1902 and later became known for its innovation and high quality. The company was named after the French explorer Cadillac, who founded the city of Detroit in 1701.
Company co-founder Gordon Bowker has said that while brainstorming names, someone brought out a map that featured the old mining town of Starbo. That may have led him to think of Starbuck, the first mate (大副) in Herman Melville's famous novel, Moby Dick. Not only the company name but also the origin of its logo has aroused great curiosity.
The inventor of Rolex, Hans Wilsdorf, was expecting to make an elegant, yet precise, wristwatch. He wanted a name that was easy to say, could work in different languages, and look good on the watches. He chose Rolex in 1908 after some consideration.
