Impressive...and all that jazz. OKeh.

Okeh Records is an American record label founded by the Otto Heinemann Phonograph Corporation, a phonograph supplier established in 1916, which branched out into phonograph records in 1918. The name was spelled "OkeH" from the initials of Otto K. E. Heinemann but later changed to "OKeh". 

Duh..

I thought it was from an american Indian word, okeh, used as an affirmative reply to a question..

Or an expansion of the miss spelt abbreviation of all korrect (ok) first printed in 1839 alledgidly...
