"Anyone know where the bank’s name came from?"

The Bank of the Ohio Valley was bought out in the late 1800s by the Third National Bank. In the 1900s the Third National Bank and the Fifth National Bank merged, and it was called the "Fifth Third Bank."

Thanks. I had seen some of their banks and wondered about the name.

Good thing they didn't call it the Third Fifth Bank, because that would be racist.
