Samsung
The owner of Samsung had significant plans for the new brand and wanted to have the name inspired by his sky-high ambitions as he looked up towards the stars. Samsung had initially been pitched as a trading company before it switched to the electronics field after 20 years. Lee Byung-Chul, the owner, chose Samsung because it meant Three Stars in Korean. The number 3 was deemed to be a lucky number in Korea, and he combined it with his aspirations for the company to last as long as the stars.

Six Flags
There had been instances when company names started from one idea before turning into something different. There were times when the owners of the company decided to shorten the name because it contained too many words. Thankfully, it was the case for Six Flags Amusement Park as it was part of the second group. The initial Six Flags was named Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington and was named after the actual location of the first park. Luckily, they shortened the name once they started to operate throughout the country.
