This extract is taken directly from the LEGO web site

The founder, Ole Kirk Christiansen,

hit upon the LEGO® name in 1934.

He took the first two letters of the

Danish words LEG GODT, meaning

“play well”, and put them together –

quite unaware that one meaning of

the word in Latin is ... “I put together”.

Today – many years later – LEGO is

both the name and the idea behind

the company.

I restored the previous version, with the derivation of the word Lego that is cited in http://www.answers.com/lego from several different sources.
