If you've heard the name, 99% chance it's in connection with one thing.
Bit like naming something a Titanic or Hindenburg.

Tacoma is the Puyallup name for Mount Rainier in Washington state.....near the city of Tacoma, which of course took its name from the mountain.
The small Toyota pick up never had a name in the US, same for the Nissan/Datsun pickup. Neither company named their small truck until the mid 90's.
