It may be a trademark issue as well, since there's a very well known trust and former pharma giant (now part of GlaxoSmithKline) that uses the same name: https://wellcome.org/about-us

There’s also a market by the same name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellcome

Yes, I was confused about the naming too. As there is the Wellcome Foundation/museum in London

See: https://wellcomecollection.org

My first thought when I saw the name was the Wellcome Trust, for whom I did some work when I was in college. It's a poor choice of name.

With all these examples of other things that have the same name, is almost like it’s okay if a bunch of things have the same name

And a Hong Kong supermarket of the same name.

My first thought was that they're going to trip over a bunch of pharma trademarks.

I used to work at https://wellcomemat.com :)

Why isn’t it Well com

Like a telecom but for wellness
