Meaning & Origin
A brand of high-end motor vehicle from the Toyota Motor Corporation.
Lexus is a girl's and boy's baby name of Greek origin, a contemporary name derived from Alexandra or connected to the Greek lexis (speech, word), meaning 'speech' or 'words' — or alternatively a brand-name inspired name, from the Toyota luxury vehicle line launched in 1989.
With over 6,500 recorded births, Lexus emerged in the early 1990s alongside the launch of Toyota's luxury vehicle brand. The name has a sleek, contemporary quality — aspirational, sophisticated, and immediately associated with luxury. In African American communities, it represents the tradition of embracing brand names as given names, a practice that reflects aspiration and cultural engagement with consumer culture.
