Firaxis was founded on prog rock by Fussbett 09/22/2004, 1:51pm PDT What does Firaxis mean and why did you decide to use it as the name of the company? Jeff Briggs: The word Firaxis (Fur-ak'-sis) is the combination of "fire" and "axis." I coined the word as the title of the musical composition I wrote as part of the requirements to complete my Doctoral studies. When we were thinking of a name for the company, we couldn't think of any better way to describe what we wanted it to be - a very energetic environment where creativity is king and hot games are made. FIRAXIS is sort of like the fiery wheel of creativity or invention. PROG >:(
