“Hyundai” is Korean for “modernity.” This name was chosen in 1947, with the original founding of the Hyundai Engineering and Construction Company — known today as Hyundai Heavy. Hyundai Motor Company was founded twenty years later in 1967, and the brand’s first model, Cortina, was released a year later.
