    The List is:
    1.Essilor
    2.Titus
    3.Kromos
    4.Ormil
    5.Crizal
    6.Espace

    Thumbs down French

    "Essilor" resulted from the merger of the companies, Essel and Silor. "Espace" is French for "space". "Titus" is a Latin proper noun. The others are brands, which were not words beforehand (unlike, for example, "Tide").

    It's like those French have a different word for everything isn't it? :)
