Naming in a field

Hi all,

Can anyone suggest to me an approach for the below situation:

I get data from multiple sources and therefore I get the field Company Name from all these sources. It turned out that in many of the sources this field is a manual input, so I have many different company names that actually refer to the same name, for example I can have:

Company Name Limited 
Cpn - Name LTD
Company Limited
Company Name: Limited

Moreover, some of them are even more random, such as: 

Sample Name International Limited
Sample Name INL
Sample Name - INL
Sample Name - INL.

Is there any function that I can use to somehow take out the main name of all these, so that I can have only one name for a company instead of multiple?

Thanks!
