Yaris means

[yariseggvvti]

Yaris stems from a goddess in Greek mythology, named Charis, who was a symbol of beauty and elegance. We used the German expression of agreement. "Ya",because we think this new name best symbolize the car's broad appreal in styling and is respresenttative of Toyota's next generation of global cars.

Good on you miiser,
Interesting post, I have wondered where the name came from.
Thanks

I read somewhere that the Japanese refer to is as the "sumo."

Actually, the reason behind "ya" is because some languages don't have the "ch" sound and it would be unappealing...
