That is a great question! The background on the Yaris name is actually really interesting. It stems from a goddess in Greek mythology, named CHARIS, who was a symbol of beauty and elegance. They put that together with the German expression of agreement, YA. They think the name symbolizes the car’s broad appeal in styling and really represents Toyota’s next generation of global cars.

Yaris stems from a goddes in Greek mythology named "Charis" who was the symbol of beauty and elegence. It was combined with the German expression of agreement, "ya". The two combined to "Yaris" and literally mean "an agreement of beuaty and elegence."

....and to "OogaMau", if you are going to list a source, don't lie and say it came from your brain, when you obviously got the answer from the same place I did... the Internet. Specifically, Toyota's web site on the FAQ page.
