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. You can see it here: https://digitalcollections.hoover.org/objects/32687/the-prussian-octopus- 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. -- De'vID
