Ajax Name of a ship of the Royal Navy that helped sink the Graf Spee (ok, she scuttled herself). Ajax town in Canada was then created and is now a city of more than 100 000 people, and a lot of the streets bear the name of the crew of the Ajax in 1940 ! Ajax is also a brand selling toilet cleaning products... Don't tell the Canadians !
