Lenovo named itself "Legend" when it was founded in 1988. But it proved to be a stumbling block when Lenovo planned to enter international market. "Legend" had been registered by almost all European countries and it covered fields from PCs, food, and automobile to clothes. As a result, Lenovo changed "Legend" to "Lenovo". "Novo" is a Latin root and it means innovation. "Le" is a part of "legend" and owns the meaning of "legend". The whole word "Lenovo" has the meaning of innovative legend. It is reported that Lenovo tells the world that Lenovo will leave the world a legend with the innovative minds.
In 1992, IBM developed a portable computer but it racked all the company members' wits about how to name it. One day, when the workers gathered again to discuss how to call this new computer, the project leader suddenly threw a pad with a word "THINKPAD" on the envelopment. And then someone cried out "Thinkpad! Thinkpad is a pad can think. It is the best name!" Finally, Thinkpad started its legend in the PC market.
HP was founded by Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard in the garage and HP later on became the most successful company in Silicon Valley. It was said that Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard had a debate about the name. Bill Hewlett wanted Hewlett-Packard while Dave Packard stuck to Packard-Hewlett. So they decided to flip a coin. Hewlett won at last and the company was named as "Hewlett-Packard". The name was shortened as "HP". HP means innovation, innovation and innovation.
