Also, Mazda is not a Japanese word. Although, it is true that most Japanese will say "Ma Tsu Da" (and some swallow the u sound, so "Mats da") because of the limitations of their language, in reality the word comes from the name of God in the Zoroastrian faith, Ahura Mazda.

According to the website, the name derives both from Ahura Mazda and the founder, Matsuda.
