What does the name Fujitsu mean?

The name Fujitsu has a historical origin that reflects its founding roots in Japanese and international industrial partnerships. The company was originally founded in 1935 as Fuji Tsushinki Manufacturing Corporation. The name is a combination of two parts: Fuji and Tsu. Fuji comes from Fuji Electric Company, which itself was named after a joint venture between Furukawa Electric Company of Japan and Siemens of Germany. In that context, Fuji was derived from Fu from Furukawa and Ji from Siemens, pronounced in Japanese style, combined with the iconic Mount Fuji to give a Japanese identity. Tsu comes from Tsushinki, which means telecommunications equipment in Japanese. So Fuji Tsushinki literally meant Fuji Telecommunications Equipment. In 1967, the company was renamed Fujitsu Limited, which is a shortened and more internationalized version of the original name. Thus, Fujitsu does not have a direct dictionary meaning like mountain or technology, but is a portmanteau of its parent company Fuji and the telecommunications industry it served. Over time, the company has given it a modern meaning in its branding, associating Fu with future and infinite possibilities, but the historical etymology is rooted in Furukawa and Siemens heritage.
