The Nirosta brand was registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office as early as 1920 for "NON-RUSTING STEELS, STAINLESS STEELS AND ACID RESISTING STEELS" etc.[2] It is used in Germany to indicate stainless steel as a type of synonym. This usage is also common in Israel.

Nirosta is an acronym for nichtrostender Stahl ("non-rusting steel").
