Son; also associated with the electronics brand
As a given name, Sony is often a diminutive of 'Sonny,' an English nickname meaning 'son.' It gained global recognition through the Japanese corporation Sony, which derived its name from the Latin 'sonus' (sound) and the English slang 'sonny.' In some contexts, it may also be used as a variation of South Asian names.
