If it is not a Frisbee® it is a ???
For Father’s Day my college boys took me around Golden Gate Park in San Francisco on their favorite Frisbee Golf course. It was a lot cheaper than me taking them on a round of real golf (in fact, free, except for the sandwiches).. and very interesting. Of course, despite the name we all use, the course was properly marked as the Disk Golf course. Believe it or not, Frisbee has been the registered trademark of the Wham-O Corporation since 1959, and they have recently extended the mark to many other clothing and toy categories, in addition to flying disks.
Then, right on cue, I read an article that reminded me Frisbees were named after the Frisbie Baking Bompany – which just happened to ship their cakes and cookies in round tins with nice lids that you could whiz across the room!
If you have any other interesting name origin tidbits, why not drop me a comment or an email? There are more in-depth name origin stories on our Brighter Naming website.
