The Mercedes auto was named for a real person, Mercedes Jellinek

This is a documentary about how the Mercedes car was named for a real person, Mercedes Jellinek. I researched this because she had the same family name as mine and I wondered if we were related. I found that she was the granddaughter of Aron Jellinek, a famous rabbi in Vienna in the mid-1800s. Her father, Emil Jellinek, was a wealthy businessman and became interested in automobiles during their early development in the 1890s. This video shows the various cars Emil purchased until he settled on those built by Gottlieb Daimler. He became a distributor of Daimler cars but required that they be named Mercedes. I also compared her family tree with mine and concluded that we are not related.
