IKEA
The name IKEA is increasingly becoming more popular, especially within the home building segment. You need only to peruse your local newspaper, and you will find brand new homes being advertised with IKEA kitchens and décor.
For those who may be wondering, the IKEA company was started in small farming village in Sweden over 60 years ago. It was founded Ingvar Kamprad and received the named IKEA based on his first two initials 'I' and 'K'. The 'E' and 'A' were derived from the first letters of Elmtaryd and Agunnaryd, the farm and village where Kamprad grew up. So the name 'IKEA' was formed by placing the combination of these letters together.
