I don't have it here, but MBZ publishes a little pamphlet of
"interesting facts" about the cars and their history.

Mercedes was Jellinek's daughter, yes. But they didn't use her name
because of an atomization technique -- they used it because that was
one of the conditions under which Jellinek took delivery of
approximately 100 cars to sell in France.

Or so says the factory.
