The meaning of the name "Elfiq"

Elf ElfiqOne non-technical question we get a lot at Elfiq “What does the word Elfiq mean?”. The answer is quite simple, when we started the company back in 2002, our initial focus was on network security and finding a company name with “security” in it was challenging plus domain names were hard to locate for our ideas.

So we started juggling with a few ideas and words, including an elf (the mythical creature), IQ for something which will be acting in a smart fashion and back then the Lord of the Rings trilogy was the big thing in movie theatres. We ended up with Elfiq, and Elves are smart creatures in most mythologies. There you have it: Elfiq is a smart creature in order to build smarter networks!
