Remington Rand Univac (usually referred to simply as Univac) was the name adopted by the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation, after it had been taken over as a division of Remington Rand; the name was almost certainly was taken from the well-known UNIVAC I, the first American commercial computer, which had been created by Eckert-Mauchly. After Engineering Research Associates was acquired by Remington Rand, it too was folded (somewhat turbulently) into the Univac division.
