Mitsubishi is a Japanese automaker founded in 1970. Nowadays, the company is part of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance. But do you know what the name "Mitsubishi" refers to?

The name "Mitsubishi" refers to the company's logo, or symbol - the three-diamond emblem. The word itself is a combination of two words: mitsu and hishi. Mitsu means "three" meanwhile hishi "water chestnut" — or "diamond". The logo was chosen by the company's founder Yataro Iwasaki.
