The full form of Maggi is named after its founder, Julius Maggi. 

Maggi (IPA: [ˈmaɡi] or similar in many countries, IPA: [ˈmaddʒi] in others) is an international brand of seasonings, instant soups, and noodles that originated in Switzerland in late 19th century. The Maggi company was acquired by Nestlé in 1947.

In 1884, a young visionary named Julius Maggi had an idea that would revolutionize the world: to create a culinary solution for busy families with no time to cook nutritious meals at home. As more and more women began working in factories and spending less time at home, he saw a true need for delicious, inexpensive meals that were quick and easy to prepare.
