| Name origin | Siegfried Bettmann's company was known as S. Bettmann and Co. until 1886, when he sought a more specific name and it became the Triumph Cycle Company. The word itself means a victory or great success. The sources used here do not record why Bettmann chose it. | The firm carries the name of its founder, William Chater Lea. The hyphenated form Chater-Lea was adopted by the company in the 1920s for aesthetic reasons, according to Wikipedia. |
