Cool names in English with translation. Examples of beautiful company names in various fields

Not only textbooks, but also your favorite musical groups will help you learn English. Some of them did a great job coming up with their names. In this article, we have selected teams for each letter of the English alphabet from A to Z. We hope that the stories and explanations of the team names will inspire you to learn and discover a lot of new things.

• AC/DC

Alternating current / direct current, which in English means alternating current / direct current. In slang, this concept refers to bisexual.

• the black Eyed Peas

The translation of the group's name in Russian does not sound so musical - Cowpea, by the way, is a very productive plant belonging to the legume family.

• The Cranberries - cranberries

• Deep Purple - deep purple/dark purple/dark purple

Evanescence |ˌiːvəˈnesns| - disappearance, evanescence, evanescence

• Franz Ferdinand

The group is named after the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
His assassination in Sarajevo in 1914 triggered the declaration of the First World War.

• Genesis |ˈdʒɛnɪsɪs| - Genesis, Genesis, birth

In the early 90s, the band began their musical career with the name His Infernal Magesty (His Devilish Majesty), which they later shortened to HIM.

• Iron Maiden - iron maiden

• Kasabian

Once, the former guitarist of the band, Chris Karloff, saw in one of the books that he was reading, the name Linda Kasabian. It stuck in his memory so much that it later became the name of the group. Linda, in turn, received a surname by marrying Robert Kaseybian, of American-Armenian descent. It is not difficult to guess that the original surname sounds like “Kasabyan”.

• Led Zeppelin

Several legends are associated with the name of this foreign group. One of them tells that initially the participants used Lead |ˈled| Zeppelin (Lead Zeppelin, a type of airship). To avoid pronunciation errors - some read the word Lead as |ˈli:d|, the letter -a- was removed from the name. According to another version, The Who frontman wanted to name his solo project that way, which he told about in the future to the manager of the Led Zeppelin group.

• Marilyn Manson

The name of the group comes from the merger of the names of actress Marilyn Monroe and maniac Charlie Manson.

• Nightwish - night desire

• OutKast |ˈaʊtkɑːst|

The name of this American duet is due to the word 'outcast' - translated from English it means "outcast", "homeless", "expelled". Replacing letters with phonetically similar ones is very popular in creative circles - this makes the name special.

• Placebo |pləˈsiːbəʊ|

Placebo, a harmless drug prescribed to calm the patient

• Queens of the Stone Age - Queens of the Stone Age

• The Rolling Stones

The name is an idiomatic expression and is translated as “free wanderers”, “tramps”, “tumbleweeds”, although some still insistently call them rolling stones.

• The Thrills - thrill, nervous excitement, deep excitement

• The Undertones |ˈʌndətəʊn| - shade, subtext

Note that the group's English name is plural; this emphasizes that there are several members in the team.

• Vice Squad |skwɒd| - vicious squad

• Wye Oak

This American group was named after the centuries-old white oak ('Wye Oak' apparently came from a consonance with 'white oak') in Maryland.

• Yeah Yeah Yeah

The name has to do with New York jargon. The word ‘yeah’ itself is translated from English as “yes, yes”

• ZZ Top

According to band member Billy Gibbons, the title is a tribute to B.B. King, since the band originally planned to be called Z. Z. King. But due to consonance, the members changed their name to Top, as BB King was the “top” musician. In a word, a game of association.

We hope you enjoyed learning our alternate alphabet. By the way, there is no letter X in it. Let this be its highlight.

We wish you interesting English and success in your studies.

The way you speak and the words you choose can tell a lot about your education, status, mood, and attitude towards an interlocutor or situation. A lot of people use language to sound cool. For example, when I was in the USA, I wanted to sound like American teenagers. Even this eternal “like” through every word could not break my firm intention to speak like them. And now I use all sorts of colloquial words so as not to sound dry, but, on the contrary, amusing and even funny. Of course, the choice of words depends on the situation. In an official setting, such words would be, to put it mildly, out of place. But when you're surrounded by friends, what's the point of being neutral? Language has many means to defuse the atmosphere, not just to convey your idea, but to present it in a special way, with a certain emotional coloring. I have already given a selection of modern English. If you want to seem cool, show off and impress your dude on the board, I suggest you the following words and expressions.

What's up- A chic alternative to the boring “How are you?” Regarding pronunciation and even spelling, there are several options: What's up / What's up / Wassup / Wazzup / Wazza / Sup

A few more conversational “How are you?”

How are you doing?(Remember Joey from Friends)

How's it hanging?

How's it going?

Que pasa?

What's cracking?

Spare me the bullshit- Stop talking nonsense

- I didn't sleep with your sister, Mary, I promise!

- Oh, spare me the bullshit, I saw you two yesterday enter the hotel at night.

(Yes, I didn’t sleep with your sister, Mary, honestly! - Enough to flood. I saw you go to the hotel last night)

Cut the crap- Go ahead without long speeches (you are trying to stop your interlocutor's long and often empty flow of speech and get him to the point)

- Cut the crap, I don't have time. (Come on, less words, more action. I don't have time)

Everyone knows the words cool / awesome meaning "cool, cool". Instead, you can say:

wicked- steep: This car is wicked! (This car is cool) In American English, "wicked" means "very": That car is wicked cool - This car is very cool.

sick- cool, cool: Man, that song is so sick! (Dude, this song is so awesome)

badass- steep: I have a bad-ass car with a kickin sound system and bitchin rims. (I have a cool car with a smart system and awesome wheels)

dope- steep: That movie was dope! (That movie was cool) This is dope! (Cool!)

Sweet!- oh, gorgeous!

- Oh sweet!

(Here, I bought you a ticket to the Sunday game. - Oh, gorgeous!)

Very popular appeals like “ Dude”:

Hey what's up dude? (Hi dude)

That dude crashed into my car. (This dude crashed into my car)

Dude is good, but it can be replaced with other equally colorful words:

Brotha That's right, brotha. (Sure, bro)

With the increased popularity of the appeal “ Bro” the number of variations on the same theme has increased; that is, instead of a laconic bro, you can say broseph / broski / broseidon(my favorite) / broheim / brohan / broham

homeboy / homie- addressing a close friend: wazup homie!! howz it going!!

Compadre

K man= Ok, man. Expression of consent. Man can be replaced with another address.

- I think we need to buy more cookies.

- Kman.

(I think we should buy some cookies. - Okay)

you get me?- You understand me?

Take it easy- relax, don't worry

Keep it real- Be yourself, be simpler. Often used during parting, sort of like a wish to be yourself and be true to your principles.

Later bro, keep it real!

later.- See you later. Short for “See you later.” Agree, why is it superfluous when you can say everything so simply?

hella(= very) - very

I am hella tired tonight! (I am very tired today)

LA is hella far away. (Los Angeles is very far from here)

You "re hella dumb. (You are very dumb)

Question word + hell / in the world+ the rest - What the hell, to hell, PPC. The hell/in the world are simply placed after the question word. They are needed for emotional coloring.

How the hell did you do that? - Pfft, how did you do that?

Who the hell do you think you are? - Who the hell do you think you are?

What in the world did I say wrong? - What did I say wrong?

What the hell? - What the? What the heck?

for shizzle- certainly! undoubtedly. Variations: for sho / fo shizzle / 4shiz / for sheezy

- Wanna go eat?

- Forshizzle.

(Do you want to go eat? - Kaesh)

coz- because (short for because, obviously)

I would totally go out with her coz she's hot! (I would definitely hook up with her, because she is very beautiful)

Innit?- is not it?

cool, innit. (Cool is it?)

Overused in London slang, replacing “really?” or used as an “I agree” agreement.

Dafaq- What? (short for “What the fuck?!”)

Surely you have repeatedly asked yourself the question: why are some words in English so melodic and beautiful? And the reason is not that this language is the most popular, but that you have the opportunity to discover another world in which your opportunities will multiply. Very often people decide to learn English precisely because they like the sound of its individual words.

How beautiful is this language?

The English language is attractive to many people for a number of reasons:

Subconscious craving for euphony. There are no hissing consonants similar in sound, but there are a large number of long vowels. There are also no words that are difficult to pronounce, despite the fact that in order to pronounce some, you need to have certain articulatory abilities.

Language semantics. Most words are easy to learn because they are universal. Some of them were borrowed from other languages, for example: fantastic - fantastic, delicacy - delicacy, eternity - eternity, galaxy - galaxy, freedom - liberty. The English language can be compared to a sponge - it has absorbed valuable linguistic forms, which is why it seems very beautiful.

Incredible emotional vocabulary. These include the presence of idioms and unusual colloquial slang, as well as the use of affectionate suffixes and other techniques.

Invaluable experience of linguists

Linguists from Britain like to organize various surveys. Not so long ago they decided to create another one. Its goal is to find words that are pleasant to the ear. The survey was conducted among foreigners, since it is difficult for a native resident of Britain to determine the attractiveness of a particular word - he simply ties them to certain meanings. And, as for non-native speakers, they are often attracted to unknown words.

The first place in the survey was taken by a very melodic word mother, known by every person from birth. The rest of the results varied, depending on the age and level of the social group:

Young people prefer romantic words, as well as those associated with music.

Philosophical concepts appealed to older people.

Businessmen like tangible terms about business life.

Housewives like household words, as well as those that are often found in the field of shopping and in TV shows.

As you can see, the survey did not give definite results. This was another proof that the environment where a person lives and works affects lexical preferences. Every language has attractive words.
