Almost all Ikea product names are either place names or Swedish words that are somewhat but not always directly/logically connected to the product.
Given how tenuous some of the connections can be, I'm assuming they're often picked with more emphasis on how they sound/read/works in other countries rather than precision.
I live in London, and the most entertaining part about visiting my local Ikea is hearing English people trying to pronounce the product names...
