Eastman trademarked the name Kodak in 1888, a word he and his mother Maria devised, favored for its strong, incisive letter 'k'.
The name Kodak was devised by George Eastman and his mother, Maria, using an Anagrams set. Eastman described it as short and euphonious and likely to stick in the public mind. The Kodak name was trademarked by Eastman in 1888. No supplied passage specifies the location of the registration act; Rochester is supported only as the Eastman company's base.
