The word zombie was coined in the early 19th century, from similar words in two different African languages meaning "fetish" and "god."

It was trademarked in 1973 by Marvel Comics for use in comics, but trademark protection was canceled in 1996.

The oldest trademark still in use was registered to software and gaming company Zombie, Inc. in 1995.
