This may just be a genuine coincidence (as in, maybe it wasn't intended by
Marc Okrand), but the famous WWI propaganda poster "The Prussian Octopus"
was published by H & C Graham Ltd.

Somewhat related: the reverse of this word, {SIyech} "cane, reed", might
have its origin in the C & H (California and Hawaiian) Sugar Company, a
brand of cane sugar.
