When we founded the company back in April 2008, one of the first things we did was to look for a good name for the company.  As many of you know, it is difficult to find a proper name that has a good meaning, is easy to spell, pronounce, remember, and most importantly… available as a domain name.  After much searching, our CTO, Navdeep Saini, found the name for our new company, Permuto.

Many people we have met with have asked us what Permuto means.  Supposedly the name is derived from a Latin root for “total transformation”.  I also found a Spanish definition from the Collins Spanish-English dictionary.

permutar vt

1 (Mat) to permute
2 [+puesto de trabajo] to exchange, swap
[+acciones, edificios] to switch, exchange
[+intervenciones, actuaciones] to interchange

As the story goes, we all liked the name and hence Permuto was born!
