摘要

企业，无论是营利性企业还是非营利组织，都需要名称来区别于其他实体。在一百多年的时间里，企业家、公司董事会和组织创始人都选择使用玉米带或某种拼写变体来识别他们的企业，也许他们相信以这个令人钦佩的农业地区命名将使他们的企业拥有长寿、生产力和良好的形象。本文回顾了玉米带作为农业地区的一个本土术语的起源，总结了玉米带最早作为企业名称灵感来源的用途，追踪了玉米带企业在命名实践的核心位置之一的历史，并介绍了2020年以玉米带的名义向公众致意的企业。

Corn Belt as an Enterprise-Naming Custom in the United States

Enterprises, be they for-profit businesses or not-for-profit organizations, require names to differentiate themselves from other entities. Over a span of more than a hundred years entrepreneurs, corporate boards, and organizational founders have chosen to use Corn Belt or some spelling variant to identify their enterprises, perhaps believing that naming after this admired agricultural region will bless their enterprise with its longevity, productivity, and favorable image. This essay looks at the beginnings of Corn Belt as a vernacular term for an agricultural region, picks up the earliest uses of Corn Belt as an inspiration for enterprise names, tracks Corn Belt enterprises through time at one of the core locations of the naming practice, and presents the enterprises that in 2020 greeted the public with Corn Belt in their names.
