That’s not the origins of the name tho, just corporate branding chain of custody.

Yup. Stanley and Black and Decker both sold out years ago. Brand loyalty is essentially meaningless these days.

But the Stanley that makes the tools is named after an entirely different person than the Stanley the thermos is named after. Just two folks named Stanley that started different businesses.

The origins are that both companies were started by people with the last name Stanley. They're not related and as far as I can tell were never owned by the same corporation.
