Interpretations mostly off the top of my head with wikipedia lookups for some of the non-English names: Lenovo - the new thing; Asus, Volvo - vaguely anatomical in English, but actually from pegasus and "I roll" in Latin; Nintendo - 任天堂 might mean something in Japanese; Samsung - 삼성/三星 "three stars" in Korean; IKEA - IK is from founder Ingvar Kamprad's initials, EA more obscurely from his home farm and village; Anker - big and heavy "anchor", appropriate for power adapters; Kagi - means "key" in Japanese; Nexon - from Nexus, their (still running!) 1996 MMORPG; Plex - from multiplex or cineplex; Sonos - from sound; Hulu - sounds like "hula" but apparently from Mandarin; Etsy - from "etc.", implying you can find "everything else"; Yandex - Yet Another + (network) Index. They seem to be fairly sensible names for the most part.
