What's the story behind Spotify's name?
Sources:
The name "Spotify" originated from a misunderstanding between the co-founders, Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon, while brainstorming names. They were shouting suggestions between different rooms, and when Lorentzon suggested something, Ek misheard it as "Spotify." Daniel immediately checked online and found the domain name available, which led to them choosing the name for their company. Later attempts to justify the name suggested it was a combination of "spot" and "identify," but this was not the origin of the name 1.
