Literature

The "Mazda" name, while iconic in Japanese car manufacturing, originates from a General Electric (GE) trademark for tungsten filament light bulbs, not Westinghouse. Westinghouse licensed the name from GE in the early 1920s and used it on their own lamps, but not for automobiles. The Japanese car company, Toyo Kogyo (now Mazda), chose the "Mazda" name in 1920, in part due to its association with the Zoroastrian god Ahura Mazda, who is associated with light and wisdom, and also after the name of their company founder, Jujiro Matsuda
