Here's how Samsung got its name

Samsung's logo through the years (including the "three stars" element)

It only makes sense to jump onto Apple's biggest competitor in the smartphone world. I don't know about Apple, but I give Samsung three stars! The name, as you probably figured, is non-English (also, associative for Korean-speakers). Samsung means "three stars" in Korean! This also explains why their flagship lineup carries the "Galaxy" tag and spirit!

If Jobs was obsessed with apples, Lee Jae-Yong must have been into astrology. The name is supposed to represent something "big, numerous, powerful, and everlasting". You know - like stars in the sky.
