In the world of unique brand names, mispronunciations and misspellings are practically a rite of passage. Here at Kalogon, we’ve seen it all. From "Kalagon" to "Calegin,” the creative variations on our name never cease to surprise us. The name itself was inspired by a friend who used a word in Cebuano – which our team took to mean trust and stability. From there, the team explored options, ultimately choosing Kalogon as the perfect representation of the principles we strive to embody.
One common mix-up is with “Calgon,” the classic bath product slogan, “Take me away!” While both of us focus on comfort, Kalogon is all about smart seating solutions, not bubble baths.
Here’s some other misspellings that are actually tied to entirely different things:
Kalegon: As it turns out, this is the name of a mythical World of Warcraft character. While we’re not in the fantasy realm, our smart cushions might feel like magic to those who use them.
Kalagon: A small village in Myanmar, located near the Chinese border. While it’s a lovely place, our focus is creating comfort solutions for seated health, not geography.
Calogon: A prescription lotion. We’re all about relieving pressure and discomfort, but with technology, not creams.
Kalgon: A heavy metal band. We’re flattered by the edgy vibe, but the only thing rocking with Kalogon is our cutting-edge innovation.
We know “Kalogon” is unique, so here are some easy ways to remember both the spelling and how to say it:
Think of the word “gone.” When you say “Kalogon,” you’re saying “cal-o-gone,” just like our cushions help discomfort and pressure injuries be gone.
Getting our name right helps you find us quickly and easily – no detours through bath product brands or video games! When you search for Kalogon, we want you to connect directly with our innovative solutions designed to improve seating comfort and health.
