The party that came to be called 'Nazi' had, as its full name in the original language (German):
Nazionalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterspartei
It was called the NDAP, or Nazi (shortened from 'nazional' in the first word) party.

Actually, the correct acronym is NSDAP.
The "word" Nazi is properly pronounced "Nat-zee" not "Nah-zee" or "Naa-zee". The pronunciation comes from the German pronunciation, not the English.
