What Does Kodak Mean?

A factoid: Kodak originally meant nothing! The following is extracted from The Book of Answers.

According to George Eastman, founder of Eastman Kodak, the name is his invention: "I knew a trade name must be short, vigorous, incapable of being misspelled...and in order to satisfy trademark laws, it must mean nothing....The letter k had been a favorite with me - it seemed a strong, incisive sort of letter....Then it became a question of trying out a great number of combinations of letters that made words starting and ending with k". The name Kodak is the result.
