How can anyone have a patent on a name that goes back at least 2,779 years?

Maybe they could name it after some of the other Panhellenic games that Pindar celebrates, such as the Pythian Games, the Isthmian Games, or the Nemean Games?

For that matter, what's the Greek word for rat? Let's hear from the classicists.
