"Kyn" is derived from the word kinship. "Dryl" comes from tendril, bringing to mind new growth

Kyndryl is a modern adaptation of two words that are central to the new company's identity and mission. "Kyn" is derived from the word kinship, referencing the belief that relationships with people -- employees, customers and partners -- are at the center of the strategy, and that long-lasting relationships must be built and nurtured. "Dryl" comes from tendril, bringing to mind new growth and the idea that -- together with customers and partners -- the business is always working toward advancing human progress.
