A little mental exercise I sometimes do is to try to come up with a good, new name for a model of car.... Try it; you might be surprised at how difficult it is!
"Curtis or Curtiss is a common English given name and surname of Anglo-Norman origin from the Old French curteis (Modern French courtois) which derived from the Spanish Cortés (of which Cortez is a variation) and the Portuguese and Galician Cardoso." Wikipedia
Who tf comes up with these names??
I know. I'm torn with being impressed with the names and wanting to scream at how stupid they sound.

Who came up with yours?
It's true origin is probably lost to antiquity, but I do know that it comes from the word "courteous", if you don't know, that means polite. 😉
