List of company name etymologies

List of company name etymologies – I knew what SCO stood for, but had no idea that SEGA was “Service Games of Japan” and was originally founded to import pinball games for use on American military bases in Japan. Or that Yahoo! came from “Yet Another Heirarchical Officious Oracle.”
