Actually, it came from Nazitionale Socialiste Deutches Arbeiters Partei (aka NSDAP): National Socialist German Worker’s Party.

That's the story I heard too. But how do you get NAZI from NSDAP?

“Nazi” was German slang for nationalize which, it seems to me, was derived from the the Italian word “NAZIonalizarre”

You tried to sneak a “Z” in their name on me, eh?

Check the spelling again:

Nationalsozialistiche Deutsche Arbeiterparei.
