Amazon was named after the world's biggest river.
When Amazon first launched in 1995, founder Jeff Bezos had a different idea for his brand name.
Bezos wanted to call his online bookstore Cadabra, according to Brad Stone's book about the company. But Amazon's first lawyer, Todd Tarbert, managed to convince him that the name sounded too similar to "Cadaver."
Bezos is also said to have favored the name Relentless, and if you visit Relentless.com today, you'll be redirected to Amazon's website, Business Insider reported.
Bezos finally settled on Amazon, named after the largest river in the world, and incorporated an image of the river in the company's first logo.

Hope this is not what is the protein in Soylent :O
