There are companies with a volume of billions of dollars in the world and in our country. While some of these brands that produce high value-added products that we use every day in our daily life are new, some of them were founded years ago. So, how was this founding process? Have you ever tried to find a nickname for yourself when starting a new game? Maybe we spent hours looking for a nickname that would look cool while reflecting you. So, how did the names of the brands that have been in our lives for many years today come about?
When we look at 50 years and older periods, we see that a different path has been followed for company and product names. This way was to open a newly established company with the name or surname of the person who founded the company. People who opened a company with their own surname without having to think too much have immortalized their names over the years. Today, we see that the founders who establish a new company establish companies with a different name instead of their own name. Today we’re going to take a look at today’s giant companies that opened with the name or surname of their founder.
