Just because I was curious: Sony comes from sonos, sound in Latin. Nike is the ~~Roman~~ Greek God of victory. Lego is is a Danish abreviation for "play well". Cisco comes from San Fransisco. Adobe is the name of a Creek near the founders house.
Of course they have origins, but that is pretty much true of any name. If I look up "Aylo" I find:
Lmao at 'One who sees seeds' Anybody on pornhub is sure to see lots and lots of 'man seed'
I can tell you the first one is total BS — there is no word in Portuguese that even sounds close to that one. Source: am a Portugal.
Adding to that as a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, no word I'm aware of comes even close to that one either. Our words don't really use Y like that to begin with.
To be pedantic, Victoria is the Roman version. Nike (Νίκη) is the Greek version of the goddess.
Oops, yup, very true, I always confuse the Greek and Roman gods 😅
