Esso is an international trade name used by Exxon Mobil and its related companies.
In Canada, this brand is used on stations operated by Imperial Oil. It was kept when the Standard Oil company and its corporate descendants changed the brand name to Exxon in the United States and some other countries.
The name Esso is still used in European stations.
The name originates from the initials S.O. (Standard Oil).
