History

Etymology

Originally from postwar French néonazi which first appears in 1952, equivalent to neo- + Nazi, and used to describe any number of movements, which saw themselves as believers of Nazi ideology or whose ideology had similar attributes. The term spread throughout the Western world acquiring a broader usage. However, its first use appears c. 1941 in the now-defunct Piqua Daily Call.
