On the one hand, and this is just speculating a bit on the pronunciation of the word, south German/Bavarian for "König" (king) sounds like "kini" [keenee], this is not far from KING. On the other hand King could be a name of German origin, and because the name obviously has some market appeal, it was probably capitalised and this gives it the intended royal emanation, so everybody associates it with nobility. Joe, you are right, Regula was used as a well-reputated name on scrappy Asian fleamarket cameras, maybe this is still the case. |
