The Soda Museum website (link below) says that the name of Pepsi-Cola comes from pepsin, which used to be a popular ingredient in soft drinks and Chewing Gum.

Don't listen to that up there. 1 Pepsi comes from the meanings pulled together. ex: candles.= can- dills? get my drift? So pepsi is like... pep, squad! or preppy. si is like c that bird over there?! so they pull pep and c together! Amazing right?

Pepsi was first made in New Bern, North Carolina, in the United States in the early 1890s by pharmacist Caleb Bradham. In 1898, "Brad's Drink" was changed to "Pepsi-Cola" and later trademarked on June 16, 1903. There are several theories on the origin of the word "pepsi". The only two discussed within the current PepsiCo website are the following: # Caleb Bradham bought the name "Pep Kola" from a local competitor and changed it to Pepsi-Cola. # The word Pepsi comes from the Greek word "pepse", which is a medical term, describing the food dissolving process within one's stomach. Dyspepsia is also a medical term describes a problem with one's stomach to dissolve foods properly. Another theory regarding the name's origins is that Caleb Bradham and his customers simply thought the name sounded good and reflected the fact that the drink had some kind of "pep" in it because it was a carbonated drink.
