While searching for a name for my business some
years ago, I learned
that Kulshan
was actually part of my youth. In the far northwest corner of
Washington State, were I grew up, there is a snow-capped mountain we
know as Mt. Baker. It appeared most every morning as I walked to
school, when the fog or clouds lifted. Kulshan is the Lummi Indian word for
this volcanic mountain. They named it when it was active; the word
means
"broken off or breaking away." 
In my consulting I've learned that breaking away from the "same old, same old" is usually required for transition to improved performance.
Thus, the company name had to be KULSHAN.
