雀巢

Nestlé's Chinese name 雀巢 (Quècháo) is a direct semantic translation: 雀 means 'sparrow/small bird' and 巢 means 'nest'. Together it means 'bird's nest' — a perfect translation of the Nestlé name (which comes from the German word for 'little nest'). The bird's nest logo reinforces this connection.
