"Quiznos" sounds Spanish, but I don't think it is. It could just be a
"made-up" word so that people like me would ask questions.

Any ideas?

Sounds like the name of a deli I've been hearing radio commercials for.

Sounds like the name of a deli-like sandwich joint that just went belly-up
6-8 weeks after it opened here.

It's Italian for "Wonder where the investors money went."

Why does a name of a business have to have to have a meaning
other than defining that business?

Their website is full of information, but for some reason, not that.

Better question: Why are all of you fat pompous *gourmands* so obsessed
with these fast food chains?

Even better question. Why do you care? And don't tell me you don't
because you took the time to post an annoying note, whereas me, I'm
just yankee'ing [sic] your chain, as I am wont to do from time to time.

It means nothing at all and has no ethnic origin. The Quiznos name was
chosen because Q and Z are the least used letters in business names. This is
according to one firm whose specialty is consulting on proprietary business,
professional and product names.

I never considered use of the Q to be so uncommon. I guess that's because
the name of my own business also happens to begin with Q.

It has no meaning.

People generally assume the name Kodak has some kind of actual meaning, as
in some chemical or physical process. In truth, it has no significance
whatsoever, except that it proved to be catchy and easy to spell and
remember which was just what its creators intended.

Thank you , Sam D. You were the only one who "got" my question. Word origins
are something of a hobby/interest of mine.
I appreciate your answer.

Equally important, it has no meanings in other languages.

A search with several spanish to english translator sites showed nothing.
A spanish/english dictionary with over "50,000 entries" showed:
The spanish word 'Quiznos' was not found.

Like I'd object to something with 'Q' in it!
