Definition
A former joint venture mobile phone company between Sony Corporation of Japan and Ericsson of Sweden, operating from 2001 to 2012.
Etymology
Compound of 'Sony' (from Latin 'sonus' meaning sound) and 'Ericsson' (Swedish surname meaning 'son of Eric'). The merger name reflected the equal partnership between the Japanese electronics giant and Swedish telecommunications company.
Kelly Says
Sony Ericsson represents the fascinating world of corporate portmanteau names, blending a Japanese company named after Latin 'sound' with a Swedish patronymic surname. This East-meets-North fusion created some of the most innovative mobile phones of the early smartphone era before eventually being absorbed back into Sony.
