Senova Meaning – What’s in a Name?
First off, we’d like to shed some light on what Senova means. Considering the merger of two countries to form an exciting car brand, it does make sense to come up with a name that will best signify the two nations. The original Swedish abbreviation of the brand, SAAB (Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget), had been translated to a similarly sounding Chinese term, “Shenbao.” This Chinese term means valuable property.
Now, adding the “nova” word, which means “new”, the brand now has its unique and esteemed name – Senova. Aptly coined, considering that each Senova car is a valuable and an innovative vehicle which can only be made by this brand!
