2405: Shell Group Name Jul 20, 2021

The name for the Shell Corporation, officially Royal Dutch Shell Group, does not have so much relation between the products its involved with and the symbol. It was in the 19th century, however, a merger of two companies: Royal Dutch Petroleum and The Shell Transport & Trading Co.. The latter company which dealt with trading goods from East Asia actually did transport shells, among other goods.
