Is it really because of their name? Do they also think North Korea is a democratic republic because that's what DPRK stands for?

They are a product of the socialist state. More government, restriction of citizens' rights, disarmament of the public, etc.

Although the "kill Jews" ideology was a defining characteristic in the National Socialist party to most people, that is not where the socialist ideologies end. But it is certainly the most egregious aspect of the National Socialist party.

The people who are saying Nazis are socialist don't actually understand what socialism is. They just think socialism is bad so they tie one of the worse groups in history with socialism, because they had socialism in their name. This way they can pretend to be on the right side while being perfectly okay with the rising white nationalist and neo nazis in their party by saying at least they aren't socialist.

Three reasons:

1) Idiocy,
2) Intentionally misleading idiots, or
3) Trolling (1 and 3 might be repeating)

They didn't as far I'm aware of. They banned other political parties and had the goal of trying to fix Germany by getting rid undesirables.

Because Nazi is short for national socialists. Sure that's as true as sallyng North Korea is a democracy because it's full title is the Democratic people's republic. Names lie.

Because they see "large government taxing you" and "members of the government stealing your money for their own personal use" as being the same thing.

While fascism and socialism do support nationalizing industries, the reasons behind them are different. Socialism supports it to remove capitalists from power and redirect profits to the people (in theory anyway) while fascism does it in order for the government to gain more control along with the prospect of promoting national/cultural heritage along with corporatism of traditional industries. You have to remember that Nazism rise was due to it proclaiming to be an alternative to free market capitalism and international socialism.

"the abolition of all incomes unearned by work," "the ruthless confiscation of all war profits," "the nationalization of all businesses which have been formed into corporations," "profit-sharing in large enterprises," "extensive development of insurance for old-age," and "land reform suitable to our national requirements".

I mean, there were a lot of socialist ideals within the party. There are a lot of socialist ideals in most economic systems in the current age. Not the least of which is the United States.

Chances are the people who go on about how the nazi's were socialist would also erroneously not recognize that the current US system is damn close to the same degree of socialism.
We just have oligarchs as opposed to a dictator.

You asked if it was really because of their name, and the answer is 'It is because of their name.'
