LEGEND
Ole Kirk Kristiansen
History of the LEGO name : deciding that the company should have a more catchy name than Billund Maskinsnedkeri ( Billund woodworking factory ), Kristiansen combined two Danish words LEG GODT - meaning ‘ play well ’ - to produce the LEGO name , placing emphasis on developing children ’ s play , and focusing on quality . It was not until much later that it was realised that LEGO in Latin means ‘ I put together ’.
