      FYI, карандаш means pencil in russian.

      There is a legend that the word карандаш (pencil) was originally the name of the founder of a pencil company. Swiss entrepreneur Arnold Schweitzer (1885-1947) actually founded the company Caran d’Ache in 1915, naming it after the famous French cartoonist of the Belle Epoque, Emmanuel Poiret[2]. However, the Caran d’Ache pseudonym chosen by Poiret was itself a transcription of the word карандаш (pencil), which already existed in Russian at that time.
