The old myth is that "L-EX-U-S" stood for: Luxury EXported to the United States...
However, in truth, it was a word randomly generated by a computer along with a list of others and hand-picked by Toyota Motor Corp to label their new ultra-luxury division. I believe it was originally "Lexis" or something before they changed it to "Lexus".

What is the origin of the name "Lexus"?
Toyota Motor Sales contracted a vendor in Northern California to create a name for the new luxury vehicle and division. The name "Lexus" was created by combining two words that depict the vehicle, "luxury" and "elegance."

They couldn't have come up with a more perfect name. "LEXUS" sounds rich, elegant, and of course luxurious. I think some of Lexus' success may also be a result of a great name. If their name sounded less "high class" it might actually turn some buyers away. It's definately my favorite sounding name in the auto industry.

I thought it was a combination of Luxury and Sex.
