Name origin	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.	The company carries Henry Ford's surname. In the badge, that name is treated as a wordmark: its connected strokes make the lettering recognizable as an image as well as a word.

Logo dates are archive labels; symbols dated before a brand's founding are excluded from its earliest-logo date. Asset counts include all archived variants, not just redesigns. A dash means a value is unavailable.
