The name Jimny came from a misunderstanding of what was told to some Japanese Suzuki delegates visiting Scotland for the first time. They decided to call their new jeep Jimmy, but somewhere between Scotland and Japan they lost the translation and so they called it Jimny.
O sea, mas o menos asi. Por un error en vez de ponerle jimmy le pusieron jimny
