| Name origin | Ryanair takes its name from its founders Christopher (Christy) Ryan and Tony Ryan. The company was incorporated in 1984 as Danren Enterprises and renamed before its first flight in 1985, reportedly on Christy Ryan's suggestion that the family name would add credibility. | Aer Lingus is an anglicisation of the Irish aerloingeas, meaning "air fleet". According to Wikipedia, the name was proposed by Richard F. O'Connor, a County Cork Surveyor and aviation enthusiast. |
