i think someone at datsun/nissan copied the idea from omega watch company.
omega is the last letter in the greek aphabet and stands for the best. z is the last letter in the roman aphabet and could be the best |

The original Z was black and white, and the original name was "the zebra." However, Mr. Nissan was told about how cars here were named after tougher animals (cobra, mustang) and he just shortened it to Z.
