The story about how Apple got its name is basically that.
The original employees were brainstorming what to call the company. Steve said just call it Apple. Everyone hated that idea. Steve barked back and said if none of you can come up with a better name than that, we’re calling it Apple. And the rest is history.
I don’t think that’s how it happened. Their logo is an apple with a bite out of it because it represents knowledge, you know, like Adam and Eve taking a bite out of the tree of Knowledge of good and evil.

From Steve Jobs’s biography, it’s also because he loved apples so much that he once got hospitalized for eating nothing but apples.
