One more place to look:

http://www.ivory.com/ivorysoap/faqs.html

for:
"In 1878, after years of experimentation with
various formulations, James N. Gamble
triumphantly reported that he and his
associates had developed the formula for a
white soap which was satisfactory in every
respect. Appropriately enough, the product
would be called P&G White Soap. But Harley
Procter insisted the new white soap deserved a
more distinctive name – one which people
would remember when they went to the store.
How did Ivory get its name?
Finally, after weeks of consideration and
rejection of a variety of names, Mr. Procter
had a sudden flash of inspiration while
attending Sunday church service. The search
for a name ended when the minister read from
Psalms 45:8, "All thy garments smell of myrrh
and aloes and cassia, out of the ivory palaces
whereby they have made thee glad." In
October, 1879, the first bar of Ivory was sold."

Yea for search engines!
