Esso is a trading name for ExxonMobil. Originally, the name was primarily used by its predecessor Standard Oil of New Jersey after the breakup of the original Standard Oil company in 1911.

The company adopted the name “Esso” (the phonetic pronunciation of Standard Oil’s initials, ‘S’ and ‘O’), to which the other Standard Oil companies would later object.
