Kodak C.I. company name origin


from web: The letter "K" was a favorite of Eastman's; he is quoted as saying, "it seems a strong, incisive sort of letter."  He and his mother devised the name Kodak with an anagrams set. Eastman said that there were three principal concepts he used in creating the name: it should be short, easy to pronounce, and not resemble any other name or be associated with anything else.  Good for Asians too who mixes L and R a lot.  Chevrolet is one of the toughest.
