It was created after Pemberton satisfied with his new product but at that time it was simply calling ‘my temperance drink’.
The name was registered as a trade mark on 31 January 1893. The name was suggested based on two of the drink’s ingredients: extracts from coca leaves and from the cola nut.
Robinson also suggested that the name be written in Spenserian script, a popular penmanship f the era; it was from his pen that the ‘Coca-Cola’ signature originated.
Coca-Cola gain popularity rapidly and it was first bottled in 1894. In 1920 Supreme Court of United States ruled that Coke was the exclusively property of the Coca-Cola Company.
By 1959, the president of the Coca-Cola Company was referring to it 'as a meaningless but fanciful and alliterative name’.
