Default What Does Spoon Mean?

Why the hell would someone name their company Spoon? Does it hold a different meaning in Japanese?

Oh OK. So the name is derived from a type of turn on a course and the emblem is derived from Japan's official bird.

So what does Toda mean?

TODA is a Japanese surname I think.

Someone once told me Spoon was chosen because the curves of the s, and o's resemble a racetrack - (b.s. if you ask me)

Come to think of it what does:
1. Integra
2. Supra
3. Corolla (Collora )
4. Lexus
etc etc mean???

Most of these names were computer generated by media consultants.

I am not sure if you are being sarcastic here or not. It isn't a bird.

Actually there was some guy in Europe that made a ton of money for coming up with the name "Vectra" for Vauxhall. I read that in a business marketing book. See, I knew this expensive *** education would come in handy one day!

The crane (the bird) is a national symbol of Japan (like Mt. Fuji). The crane is in the Spoon emblem.

For Japanese to English (and vice versa) look at http://dict.pspinc.com/
