Etymology

Subaru is the name of the Japanese car company and it comes from the Japanese name for the Pleiades, a group of stars that 'gather' closely together; the founders used this name when several firms joined into one. So the star logo and the name show unity and a guiding sign, which fits a brand known for reliable, all-wheel drive cars.
