The TOYOTA Motor Corporation was founded by
Kiichiro Toyoda, the son of
Sakichi Toyoda.The name of the car company is Toyota, not Toyoda, because the Toyota family made a deliberate decision to change the name of the company from Toyoda to Toyota in the
1930s.
There were several reasons behind this decision. First, the name "Toyota" has
eight strokes in Japanese characters, which is considered a
lucky number in Japanese culture. This was seen as a positive association for the new company. Second, the name "Toyota" was thought to sound more
pleasant and be
easier to pronounce than "Toyoda."
