How Was "Panasonic" Named?

From Wikipedia:

Panasonic is an international brand name for Japanese electric products manufacturer Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. Under this brand Matsushita sells both consumer electronics and electronics components. The brand Panasonic was created by Matsushita in 1961 for the US market because the National brand was already registered by others. As its original use was for audio equipment, the Panasonic brand was created from the elements "pan-" for "all" and "sonic" for "sound".
