Etymology of DATSON

The word "Datson" is believed to derive from the Japanese phrase "datsun go" (ダットサンゴー), which literally means "son of Datsun". Datsun was a brand of automobiles manufactured by the Japanese company Nissan. The name Datsun itself originated from the initials of the company's predecessor, "Dat Motorcar Co". The name "Dat" came from the founders' surnames, namely Kenjiro Den, Rokuro Aoyama, and Meitaro Takeuchi. Over time, "Datson" evolved into "Datsun" to emphasize the company's focus on smaller vehicles, as "son" in Japanese translates to "small" or "child".
