English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Guess the company/game/etc. name meaning...

I've just watched a movie, where the main character guy lost his sense of tasting. This 'sickness' was named: "Agnosy", with "ag" being the word for negation, and "gnosis" meaning (in greek they said) "sense of tasting".
The first thing that springed in my mind, after that, was: "Psygnosis"!!!

So the secret behind this company name is the melange of words: "psychics" and "gnosis", right?

Are there any more so interesting, examples of company/game/etc. names that hide a "deeper" meaning, you know of?

If not why don't we try to play detective's and try to figure out some?
