...or sort of ....!!!!
It sounds more like a medication than an automaker.
The merged FCA and Groupe PSA have decided to call their corporation Stellantis. The company says that the name comes from the Latin verb "stello", which means “to brighten with stars." The interstellar name doesn't feel like a stellar choice, though, because it has no ties to either automaker's extensive history.
The companies offer a little explanation for the Stellantis name, but it doesn't really clarify a reason for choosing this specific moniker. "The name’s Latin origins pay tribute to the rich history of its founding companies while the evocation of astronomy captures the true spirit of optimism, energy, and renewal driving this industry-changing merger."
