Etymology

The word 'jaguar' originates from the indigenous Tupian language of South America, where it was used to refer to this majestic wild cat. European explorers adopted the term, and it became widely recognized as the name for this iconic big cat species. In the automotive context, the name 'Jaguar' was chosen by the British car manufacturer Sir William Lyons in 1935 to evoke the speed, elegance, and power associated with the big cat. Since then, the Jaguar brand has become synonymous with luxury and performance in the automotive industry.
