Where the Name Cyon Came From
The brand name for these phones changed a few times. It started as "Hwatong" (화통). Then it became "Freeway." After that, it was called "CiON" or "CION." This name meant "a descendant of noble blood." Later, it was spelled "CyON," and finally, "CYON."
When the name changed to "CyON," people said it came from "cyber-on." This meant being connected to "cyberspace." Cyberspace is like a huge online world where computers and networks connect. The word "cyber-" comes from an old Greek word meaning "steersman" or "guide."
