Mazda - the company known for its affordable sports cars, was founded in 1920 by Jujiro Matsuda. Do you know why was the name changed from Matsuda to Mazda?
Answer It's named after Ahura Mazda, the Zoroastrian God
The company's founder Jujiro Matsuda didn't want to name his company after himself but after something bigger. The name "Mazda" comes from Ahura Mazda, the Zoroastrian god of harmony, intelligence, and wisdom.
