History of the Cisco name

Cisco is not C.I.S.C.O but is short for San Francisco. In the early days,
when the founders were looking for names, they always came up with a name
that was denied. Eventually someone suggested 'cisco' with a lowercase 'c'.
(Another company named CISCO already existed at that time.) The name with
the lowercase 'c' continued to be used for a long time, until it was
capitalized citing problems in getting the lowercase 'c' right in publications.
