Etymology

The term 'Hummer' is derived from the military vehicle known as the 'Humvee,' officially called the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV). The Humvee was developed by AM General in the 1980s for use by the United States Armed Forces. The vehicle's ruggedness, off-road capabilities, and distinctive design caught the attention of the civilian market, leading to the launch of the Hummer brand in 1992. The first civilian version, the Hummer H1, was produced in 1992, and it quickly gained a reputation for its impressive off-road capabilities and imposing presence. In 2003, General Motors began manufacturing Hummer vehicles, further popularizing the brand. Hummers became cultural icons and were often associated with luxury and extravagance, particularly in the early 2000s, though they have faced criticism for their environmental impact due to poor fuel efficiency.
