Xerox's name comes from the Greek word 'xeros' meaning 'dry' and 'graphos' meaning 'writing'. The company was originally founded as 'The Haloid Photographic Company' in 1906 in Rochester, New York. It renamed itself Xerox in 1961 to reflect its invention of xerography - dry copying using electrostatic charges.
