Why is Chick-fil-A called Chick-fil-A? Here is the story of the name.

When Truett Cathy invented "Chick-fil-A", it was not a chain – it was a simple sandwich, sold in a restaurant called the House of the Dwarves.

Cathy spent years creating the chicken sandwich, which became the star of the Dwarven House menu. The sandwich was a hit, but Cathy struggled to find a name.

Originally, Cathy was simply calling the iconic sandwich "Chicken Steak Sandwich", but a lawyer closed it when he attempted to market the product.

"I should not spell a word, turn it sideways or upside down, or do anything else to distinguish it," writes Cathy in her book, "Eat Mor Chikin: Inspire More People."

"I started thinking about the product, which was the best part of chicken – a boneless bad," continued Cathy. "It appeared to me that the best cut of beef is a fillet, why not call ours a chicken fillet? Or a chicken fillet? Or a chicken-yarn-A?"

The final touch was to capitalize on the "A", a decision that Cathy believes reflects "superior quality".

Cathy registered the name in 1963. Although Chick-fil-A evolved from the name of the sandwich to the name of the chain, the logo has remained virtually the same since.
