Our Name and Logo
The company was named after Chiron (or Cheiron) who was the superlative centaur in Greek mythology. Unlike other centaurs, Chiron was intelligent, civilized, and considerate in nature. He was a great healer and an exemplar of learning and wisdom with a gift and passion for leading his pupils to achieving their highest potential. He tutored many of the legendary Greek heroes including Achilles, Theseus, and Heracles. He also taught medicine to Asclepius who is known as the God of Medicine and Healing. Chiron’s nobility was further accentuated when he selflessly gave up his immortality to enable Prometheus to obtain the use of fire.
