"Nazi" as a term never had real meaning, it was an insult towards the National Socialists because it sounded like Ignatz which was a rural name, and based on the existing term of Sozi which was what the Social Democrats were called.
The NSDAP never referred to themselves as nazis, other than some ones who "wanted to take it back" because it was always intended as a slur or insult.
Otherwise it would only have meant members of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, and that ended with WWII.

Was Ignatz by chance a German way to say the Polish "Ignacy"?
I assume they both come from the Roman name of Ignatius, which probably comes from "Ignis" meaning fire.
Ah, yes.
Boy are you dumb. It was given meaning after we won. Before that we usually called Germans Jerries.
