Where does the name Zuiko come from?

« on: August 14, 2010, 12:03:32 PM »

Has anyone ever wondered where the name that Olympus gives all of it's lenses comes from? It is quite the word, but I get the feeling that it's some sort of translation.

A translation: "There, where the light is born" or something like that. I saw that somewhere, but can not find it now.
