Best Answer

The M and M stand for the initials of Forrest Mars Sr. and R. Bruce Murrie. After the rights were purchased by them in 1939, they had to reintroduce them to the domestic market with a different name because there was already a candy product sold in the U.S. under the name Smarties.

Mars & Murrie

Bruce Murrie [...] was the son of the president of Hershey, Mars' biggest competitor. Mars put up 80% of the capital, Bruce Murrie 20%. The explanation for this unusual joint venture was that chocolate was rationed during WWII, but not for Hershey's, which produced chocolate for the troops. By setting up in business in this way, M&Ms had a guaranteed source of chocolate. (Mars soon bought the younger Murrie out, but M&Ms continued to be made with Hershey's chocolate through the 60s.)
