| Name origin | The name was devised by engineer Geoffrey de Freville. Theories linked it to aluminium and the Latin vis, or to the Norse smith Alvíss, but de Freville rejected them and said the name had no meaning and was simply easy to pronounce in any language. | The company is named after its founder, Arash Farboud. It began as Farboud Limited in 1999 and changed its name to Arash Motor Company in 2006, using his first name. |
