Nazi is an abbreviated word forNationalsozialist (National Socialist), a member of the Nazi Party. The Nazi Party of Germany was called Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP) (National Socialist German Workers Party) at the time of it's existence from 1918 until 1945.
Nazi is ancient Hebrew for Germany. Therefore Nazi's means German. The Nazi party means the German party.
Ashkenazmeaning German Jews
No, Nazi is not Hebrew for Germany, nor is the word "Nazi" related in any way to the term "Ashkenaz". That is nonsense made up by white supremacists and neo-Nazis. According to the Hebrew Bible, Ashkenaz is the name of one of Noah's great grandsons; after the Great Flood, he supposedly built a kingdom in northern Europe. During the Middle Ages, Ashkenaz's name became associated with Germany and the Jews there, so that they were Ashkenazi Jews. The similarity between "Nazi" and "Ashkenazi" is entirely coincidental.
As the original responder mentioned, "Nazi" comes from the full name of the party- National Socialist German Workers Party. There are stories that the name "Ignaz" (pronounced "eeg-natz") used to be a common nickname for poorly educated, low income peasant farmers, similar to "Cletus", "Billy Bob" or "Jim Bob" in the US. So an insult was to call someone a Nazi (from Ignaz), similar to calling someone a "redneck", "yokel", or "hick" in the US.
Along came the far-right wing, ultra-racist National Socialists, who were from Bavaria, which was a very conservative, somewhat backwards state in Germany, and the source of the Ignaz-redneck jokes. In German, "National" is pronounced "nah-tsee-own-all", so it was very easy to start calling them Nazis. The Nazis themselves didn't like the term (obviously), and usually referred to themselves as "NS", "NSDAP" or "Nationalsozialisten".
