Intel

... was founded on 18 July 1968 by Gordon E. Moore and Robert Noyce, as NM Electronics (or MN Electronics). Some say that they preferred the name Moore Noyce, but felt it sounded too much like "more noise". By the end of the month the name had changed to Intel (short for Integrated Electronics). They had to buy the rights for the name, as it was already trademarked by Intelco – a hotel chain, which seems to no longer exist. (There is a company with that name, but it supplies intruder alarms, CCTV surveillance, and similar systems – and was only founded in 1998.)

Gordon Moore is equally famous for Moore's Law, which (according to Wikipedia) states that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles about every two years. I've also heard it expressed as "computers double in power and halve in price every two years."

Wikipedia suggests that Moore's Law still held as late as 2018.
