What is the meaning of the word starbucks?
Answers:
"The owners of Starbucks originally wanted to call their company "Moby's Coffee," referring to Moby Dick, the great white whale in Herman Melville's classic novel. But bringing up the image of a giant whale was deemed potentially unattractive for coffee drinkers. And so a new logo was designed, but the name "Starbucks" maintains the connection to Moby Dick―Starbuck is the name of the coffee-drinking first mate from Nantucket"

Named after a character in the novel Moby Dick
Starbuck was a character in 'Moby Dick.' Coffee aficionados Gordon Bowker, Jerry Baldwin, and Ziv Siegel founded the company in 1971 and named it after the coffee-loving first mate in Moby Dick.
As in the Coffee house place (starbucks). Star has 4 letters so that = $4 and bucks means money. So, $4 bucks for coffee!!! every time you go...
