Yes, companies often change their names.
Gary Kildall founded Intergalactic Digital Research.
George Morrow founded Thinker Toys, which later became Morrow's Micro
Stuff, and eventually Morrow Designs.
Greenberg and Grant founded Kentucky Fried Computers, which became North
Star (due to a lawsuit from a chicken place), and eventually NorthStar

Happy Computing!
