Savoy is owned my Arnotts, as is Jatz. Savoy was owned by another company that merged with Arnotts, and Arnotts already had Jatz.

"Savoy is an extremely similar cracker initially introduced by the Brockhoff Biscuits in Melbourne[8] in 1938.[9] While they were originally competitors, with the merger of Brockhoff and Arnott's in 1963, the decision was made to keep both products on store shelves.[2] Today, besides branding, the difference between the two biscuits include the replacement of the full cream milk powder and malt in Jatz with golden syrup in Savoy." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jatz

Edit: I think the name is a surname?

Edit: idk wtf I'm saying

Haha, I get what you’re saying. I tried searching for the why, but nothing concrete.
