Audi is one of the greatest German car manufacturers and its origin goes as far back as 1899. The name Audi is a Latin translation of the German word "Horch". But where does the name "Horch" come from?

The famous German engineer August Horch left his previous company and formed a new one in 1909. The new company retained the name "Horch" but it was translated to Latin. Hence, the name Audi.
