When the old 'enemies' of Britain and France got together to build a supersonic passenger aircraft, the issue of the name came up.
It was originally 'Concorde' with an 'e' (French spelling), but when the British took offence, they change it to 'Concord' - (English). This was later changed back to Concorde with the 'e' standing for just about any word they could use to justify it - Englsh, excellent, extravagant and when the Scots objected to being left out - Ecosse.
