HORCH is the (old) German equivalent of AUDI, which is Latin for "hark!" Back in the early 20th century (or was it late 19th?), August Horch got into a battle with his board of directors, so he left the company which bore his name and founded a different company, which he named with the Latin translation of his last name.


and no i didn't just google that

Actually, 'auscultare' means to listen. 'Audire' means 'to hear', but I'm sure that 'audi' could have been used as 'listen!' although it technically means/meant 'hear!' The derivatives of the two are used pretty much interchangably today, so I'm sure that in the past they were used like that, as well, although the specific meanings are different. Technicalities technicalities :)
