Studio Ghibli's name comes from an airplane.

You've probably taken Studio Ghibli's name for granted all this time; have you ever stopped to wonder what it means? WWII buffs might recognize it as the Caproni Ca.309, an Italian WWII-era scouting aircraft nicknamed Ghibli. Arabic speakers might also recognize it for the word's meaning: Desert Wind. Considering Hayao Miyazaki's love for airplanes and flying, it's not such a big surprise that he got the name for his studio from a plane.
