There are several theories: * Named after Mark Pringle, who filed a US Patent 2,286,644 titled “Method and Apparatus for Processing Potatoes” on 5 March 1937. Pringle’s work was cited by Procter & Gamble (the original seller of Pringles) in filing their own patent for improving the taste of dehydrated processed potatoes. * Two Procter advertising employees lived on Pringle Drive in Finneytown (north of Cincinnati, Ohio), and the name paired well with “potato chips”. * Procter & Gamble chose the name from a Cincinnati telephone book. * “Chosen out of a hat” to promote a family name appeal.
