As in the iconic film brand. Kody is a nickname possibility.

The brand got its name from founder George Eastman, who needed something that could easily be trademarked and loved the letter K. He was quoted saying, "In regard to the word Kodak I can say that it was a purely arbitrary combination of letters, not derived in whole or part from any existing word, arrived at after considerable search for a word that would answer all requirements for a trademark name. The principle of these was that it must be short; incapable of being misspelled so as to destroy its identity; must have a vigorous and distinctive personality, and must meet the requirements of the various foreign trademark laws."
