SAFRAN is the name adopted following the merger of the propulsion and aerospace equipment group SNECMA and defense conglomerate SAGEM.

SAFRAN, literally "rudder blade", was chosen from 4,250 suggestions. As a holding company for many subsidiaries the name was deemed suitable for the suggestion of direction, movement and strategy. Safran also translates as saffron, which the company highlights as one of the catalysts for early international trade.
