SIMDOG Forums Junkie Location: Bayside Melbourne. Registered: May 2003	Re: Old school toyota symbol Tue, 21 September 2004 12:20 Apparently the story went that the family name was Toyoda... They originally started out with the Toyoda family Automatic Loom works. The family then expanded into designing and producing cars and trucks. It was around the end of 1936 they decided to change the company name from Toyoda to Toyota. The reason is because Toyota is easier to pronounce internationally, and also because the name is written in Katakana and it has exactly 8 strokes, and 8 is considered a lucky number in Japan. If Toyota is written in hiragana it has a different number of strokes. Also, the family name Toyoda is written differently with a different number of strokes too.
