It is said that Mazda coincides with the anglicized pronunciation (or more likely, Mazda reflects a German rendering of the Japanese pronunciation of Matsuda) of the founder's name, Jujiro Matsuda, who was interested in spirituality, and chose to rename the firm in honor of both his family and Zoroastrianism.[4] The word Mazda derives from Ahura Mazda, the Avestan language name for a divinity exalted by the ancient Iranian prophet Zoroaster, as the source of wisdom, intelligence and harmony.'Mazda', or rather the Avestan stem-form Mazda-, nominative Mazdå, reflects Proto-Iranian *Mazdah. It is generally taken to be the proper name of the deity, and like its Sanskrit cognate medha, means "intelligence" or "wisdom". Both the Avestan and Sanskrit words reflect Proto-Indo-Iranian *mazdha-, from Proto-Indo-European *mn?sd?eh1, literally meaning "placing one's mind ", hence "wise".

In Japanese, the company's name has always been pronounced and spelled as "Matsuda", the name of the founder. Television ads for Mazda automobiles in the United States use a pronunciation where the initial vowel sound is the 'a' in "father", while Canadian Mazda advertisements pronounce the company's name with the initial "a" sound of the word "has". The initial vowel sounds (in the American and Canadian advertisements) are references to the first and last A sounds in the original Persian pronunciation[
