What Is the Meaning of Nissan?
The Nissan name came straight from Japan. The founder, Yoshisuke Aikawa stepped into the role of the company present for Nihon Sangyo in the year 1928. At that point in time, the company oversaw the operations of foundries and auto parts.
The Nihon Sangyo appeared in 1933 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange as NISSAN––its “ticker” name (think NASDAQ). The ticker name stuck as the official Nissan brand name and badging icon.
After that, Nissan began expanding. It reached far out to Japan to gain a global presence in the auto industry. Very early, Nissan started planting roots in Nigeria. One of its earliest vehicles in Nigeria was the Nissan Datsun. It was also the first mass-produced Japanese car brand.
