The Mssrs. Daimler & Benz wanted to sell their car in England, but nationalism being what it is, the name sounded too German. A man by the name of Jellinek said that he'd market the car in England, and put up some development money to boot, if they'd name the car after his daughter Mercedes. Truth is stanger than fiction, every time.
