This is the often given answer, but is wrong. The company, the mountain, and many other things are named after a Hindu god of food and nourishment. Don’t just mimic the first search result (check its etymology section, instead).
- titanomachy 2y agoDo you know for a fact that the company is named after the goddess rather than the mountain? Otherwise it’s not so different from saying that Everest isn’t a mountain in Nepal, but rather an English Surveyor General of India. Similarly Annapurna the region has much greater recognition amongst non-Hindus than Annapurna the goddess.
