What is another name for a ballpoint of a pen and why?
In many English-speaking countries another name for a is “biro” after László Bíró (1899-1985) .
Mr.Bíró was a Jewish newspaper man and journalist, born in Hungary .
Frustrated with the writing tools of their day, together with his brother György, László developed the concept of a ballpoint pen and in 1938 patented what is considered the modern .
The key element of Bíró’s invention was a special ink made with a paste instead of water that made the ballpoint possible.
So, the Biro Pen is the modern ballpoint pen.
After moving to Argentina in 1941, the Bíró Brothers launched the Bíró Pens of Argentina factory along with their new business partner, Juan Jorge Meyne. Biro Pens named the ballpoint pens Bíróme (a merger of the names Bíró and Meyne). To this day, pens in Argentina are still referred to as Bírómes .
