The story of Mercedes begins in Nice, France, in 1897. Emil Jellinek, Consul General of Austria in Nice of the period, visits the Daimler factory and buys one of the cars produced with great appreciation. Especially during the time he spent in the French Riviera, the vehicle he used made quite a splash. After using the vehicle for about 2 years, he visits the factory again and buys another 23 horsepower vehicle, which was considered a racing car at the time. He named the car after his eldest daughter Mercedes and participated in one of the car races held in Nice from time to time and won the first place. At the same time, he is a successful trader and businessman, as well as a well-known, well-known face among the international financial markets and the aristocratic class, so he happily places an order for 36 cars from Daimler, planning to combine the trade. Jellinek's only condition for the order is that the cars be named after his daughter Mercedes.

Daimler manufactures and delivers vehicles. Jellinek, a successful trader, also sells all of his vehicles between 1899-1901. Impressed by this success, Daimler agreed with Jellinek and decided to name the vehicles it will produce as Mercedes.

Mercedes, which is a very common name in all Spanish-speaking Latin countries, means both elegance and the name of the planet Mars. In both senses, it is one of the best names given to vehicles produced in the last century. It should be noted that the name was registered by Daimler in 1902.
