History behind the name "Mercedes-Benz". Mercedes Jellinek was born on 16 September 1889 as third child of businessman Emil Jellinek. Borrowing her name, her father entered Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft cars in races under the pseudonym “Mercedes” – especially the Nice Week. Owing to an unparalleled series of successes, the name “Mercedes” soon became widely known. When Jellinek and Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (DMG) signed an agreement on the sale of cars and engines in April 1900, Mercedes was made the product designation for Daimler vehicles. Mercedes Jellinek never actually owned an automobile, but her name wrote automobile history and coined one of the most well known brand names in the world.
