The term "Rollei" was used for the first time to name the "Rolleidoscop", the stereo camera that used roll film, the prototypes were named "Roll-hei-doscop" but marketing people at F&H did not like the way it sounded and then production cameras were called Rolleidoscop, BTW "Hei" and "ei" come from "Hei-decke"; ei pronounced eye in English.
