Using a non-invented word for a brand makes it very difficult to search for it, I don’t understand why so many companies are doing that

I suppose once ‘goggle’ has picked up on it it will be the top of any search.

Oops! There is a Murena Phone too ???

UPDATE: There is also a company in the UK with that name
