Etymology
Named after George Westinghouse Jr. (1846-1914), American inventor and industrialist. The surname 'Westinghouse' is of English origin, likely meaning 'western house' or possibly derived from a place name.
Kelly Says
George Westinghouse's greatest legacy was championing AC (alternating current) electricity over Edison's DC system in the famous 'War of Currents.' His victory fundamentally shaped how we transmit and use electricity today, making possible everything from long-distance power transmission to modern appliances.
