You might hear people mentioning Nvidia more this week. The stock is trading at an all-time high. It’s officially the most valuable company in the world. But are people pronouncing it correctly?

Despite the company dominating headlines and being at the forefront of many conversations around AI, some people still don’t know how to pronounce its name.

Luckily, Nvidia cleared the confusion on its website and explained the proper pronunciation. We’re sorry to tell you, but if you’re one of the people calling the tech giant “NUH-vid-ee-uh,” you’ve been saying it wrong.

The proper pronunciation of Nvidia is “en-VID-ee-uh,” according to the company.

Founded by CEO Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem in 1993, the chipmaker’s name actually came from its lack of a name, Fortune previously reported. While the trio focused on developing the company, they put its title on the back burner and named files “NV” as an abbreviation for the “next version.”

The three eventually decided on NVision before realizing the name was taken by a toilet-paper manufacturing company, The New Yorker reported. Finally, Huang suggested the chipmaker’s current name, a spinoff of the word “invidia,” which means envy in Latin, the report said.

Huang and the founders had dreams of creating a product that would make rivals “green with envy,” Nvidia cofounder Priem said. Given Nvidia has a nearly $3.9 trillion market cap and a long line of tech giants and startups angling for its latest AI chips, it seems as if that vision has come to fruition.

To celebrate Nvidia’s stock price hitting $100 years ago, Huang got the company’s logo tattooed on his arm — an experience he later said “hurts way more than anybody tells you.”

Check out the video below to hear Huang pronounce the name at Nvidia’s 2024 keynote.
