foreign software companies are named
Yahoo
People who have read Gulliver's Travels must be familiar with the word Yahoo. In the novel, it represents a guy who is very annoying in appearance and behavior-Lehu. Most people usually choose beautiful words when choosing names, but the two founders of Yahoo do the opposite. They think they are Yahoo. And they also like the definition of Yahoo in the dictionary as "rude, unsophisticated and vulgar", so the name of the company became Yahoo. Software companies are named
Twitter's initial name is Status. Later, the founder Jack Dorsey didn't think the name was shocking, so he looked it up in the dictionary and recognized the word Twitter when he saw it. And the company's Logo is also a bird pattern. Indeed, as long as the birds keep twittering, global news can spread all over Twitter.
Apple
The name Apple was invented by Steve Jobs when he was working on a community farm while he was driving on Highway 85 from Palo Alto to Los Altos. At that time, Jobs said, "I came up with a great name: Apple puter." As for why Jobs came up with Apple as the company name, there are rumors that Jobs likes the Beatles and Apple comes from the album name of the band.
As a search giant, Google's name has something to do with search. Google comes from the mathematical word "googol", which means 1 to the 1 th power. The founders Page and Brin think it is more in line with Google's business, which means that a lot of information can be obtained through Google's search engine. Later, because I accidentally wrote an e when I registered the company, I named the company Google if I made a mistake.
Sony
originated from the Latin word Sonus, which means "sound". It sounds catchy and related to the industry it is engaged in. This Latin word is related to other words, whether it is Sonny or Sunny, which has a good meaning and is in line with the establishment of a healthy corporate image. The only fly in the ointment is that Sonny sounds homophonic with the Japanese word "losing money" and has some "stroke of bad luck". Later, Akio Morita had a brainwave and removed an "n" to spell "Sony".
Aruba
As the saying goes, "Don't steam steamed bread for breath". The name Aruba thoroughly implements this. Facing the rival Cisco at that time, Ke Wanke, its founder, jokingly said that the name Aruba was originally used in the hope that his company could rank ahead of Cisco when sorted alphabetically. Although Cisco is powerful, Aruba's indomitable spirit is also worth learning.
The name of the website Facebook comes from the traditional paper "roster". Usually, universities and preparatory schools in the United States distribute this "roster" with all members of the school community to new students and faculty to help them get to know other members of the school.
