While the word "Nissan" might evoke the sun due to its phonetic similarity to "ni" (meaning sun) and "san" (meaning birth), the name comes from the Tokyo Stock Exchange abbreviation for Nihon Sangyo, a holding company founded in 1928. "Ni-San" became the nickname used on the exchange and eventually stuck as the company's official name when it entered the automotive industry. Emerging from Japan in 1933, Nissan embarked on a remarkable journey, establishing itself as a prominent force in the automotive industry. Since then, Nissan has consistently demonstrated its commitment to innovation, quality, and reliability, earning the trust and admiration of millions of customers worldwide. The fuel-efficient Leaf, a mass-produced electric cars, is a testament to their commitment to sustainability.
