Is Dongfeng Nissan the same as Nisan?
1 Answers
Exactly the same, Nisan and Nissan are different Chinese translations for the same car manufacturer NISSAN; Nissan is the official name and trademark of the Japanese Nissan Motor Company, written in Roman letters as NISSAN, while Nisan is a phonetic translation of NISSAN. In fact, it was originally called "Nisan", but due to trademark registration issues, when NISSAN officially entered China, it was found that a company had already registered the name "Nisan", so it had to change from a phonetic translation to a combination of meaning and phonetic translation as "Nissan". More related information is as follows: Note 1: NI actually means "day" in Japanese, such as Nippon for Japan; "san" is phonetically translated from SSAN, so NISSAN adopted the new name "Nissan". Similar cases of forced name changes due to intellectual property issues include LEXUS changing from "Lingzhi" to "Lexus", and ROVER's "Land Rover" changing to "Land Rover". Note 2: Nissan (NISSAN) is a Japanese automobile manufacturer founded by Aikawa Yoshisuke in 1933 in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. Currently, it has automobile manufacturing bases in 20 countries and regions (including Japan) and provides products and services in more than 160 countries and regions worldwide.
