Camry, Carina, Corolla, Corona, Crown, Celica...
According to some speculation, Camry is thought to be derived from the similar Japanese word, means a lid, tiara or crown. Corolla is a derivative of corona, which is a Latin word for crown, so at least four words are from the same origin -crown.
I didn't know that. I knew corolla means petals in French, corona means nuclear reaction on the surface of the sun. But I had no idea all names are correlated. It is certain that all names are unfamiliar to traditional Japanese.
