Get short company name based on ticker?

So like AAPL is Apple (not Apple Inc.)
MSFT = Microsoft (not Microsoft Corp.)

Any API or way to parse the shortened name from the full name?

http://d.yimg.com/autoc.finance.yahoo.com/autoc?query=COMPANY_NAME_HERE&callback=YAHOO.Finance.SymbolSuggest.ssCallback

Query is the company name, returns in json
I've never used it very much, so not sure if it works well, or at all.
