Name / Trademark

The name Meo Voto (my wish) originated in 1932 as the name for the new house of founder Pieter Vriend. In those days he suffered from wrongly delivered mail because a lot of people's last name was "Vriend".

After naming his house Meo Voto it didn't take long before his nickname became" Pieter Vriend of Meo Voto". He didn't mind, he no longer suffered from wrongly delivered mail.

In 1956 Hendrik Vriend started using the name for the company with later the now known trademark in which the name Meo Voto can be read.
