Pac-Man's original name was Puck-man

But they changed it.
The more you know.

On "United Stuff of America," we learned the true origin story of the 1980s video game smash Pac-Man, including the surprising fact that Pac-Man is not its original name! When it first debuted in Japan in 1980, Pac-Man was known as "Puck-Man," named after "Paku" - a Japanese word meaning "chomp." But arcade owners were worried that U.S. teenagers would vandalize their machines to make a key alteration to the title, so "Puck-man" had to undergo a slight name change to "Pac-Man" before it could come to America.
