LEGO was not always called LEGO. LEGO wasonce called THE AUTOMATIC BUILDING BRICK. I will tell you how the name LEGO came to be and much more. Well, it all started with a Danish carpenter named Ole Kirk Christiansen. His busness was not doing well, so he started making step ladders,ironing boards and wooden toys. But the wooden toys sold the best. He made different animals, vehicle and even small bricks! Ole decided his future was with toys.
So,he kept going until he had a company constrcted. Now he called the product THE AUTOMATIC BUILDING BRICK. They eventually switched from wood to plastic because of the efficency and other reasons. Then Ole's son, Godtfred Kirk Christiansen changed the name to LEGO.
The name LEGO comes from the Danish words 'leg" and "godt" which meant "play well". Later The company discovered that in Latin it meant "I put together"
