Name origin	The name pairs Abbott, the name of the Abbott Motor Company, with Detroit, the city where the cars were built. The sources consulted do not say who Abbott was, so the exact origin of the surname is not confirmed here. Naming a car after both a maker and a home city was common among early automobile builders.	Aria Group has not published why it chose the name "Aria." The word is most commonly known as a musical term for a solo vocal piece, but no company statement ties the name to that meaning, to a founder, or to any other documented source. The origin should be treated as unconfirmed rather than settled.
