Which name was the online retailer Amazon originally incorporated under in 1994, before founder Jeff Bezos changed it because he was concerned it could be misheard as ‘cadaver’?
💡 Explanation:
Amazon was initially incorporated as Cadabra, short for 'abracadabra.' Bezos quickly dropped the name after a lawyer noted that over the phone, it could easily be misheard as 'cadaver.' Bezos also considered the name 'Relentless,' which still redirects to Amazon.com.
