For the word Kodak, which has become one of the most recognizable brand names ever, there is no special meaning attached to it. George Eastman explained its origin: “I devised the name myself. The letter ‘K’ had been a favorite with me - it seems a strong, incisive sort of letter. It became a question of trying out a great number of combinations of letters that made words starting and ending with ‘K.’ The word ‘Kodak’ is the result.”
