Acura as manufacturers name (and it's basically bit higher end Honda) means absolutely nothing - it is totally made up and just to sound "Cool". Also, Acura's two- and three-letter combinations mean absolutely nothing. They're just completely made-up combinations of letters. One exception that rule -- or lack of one -- predates Acura's overall move to letters. When the Acura NSX sports car was in development in the 1980s that name stood for New Sports Experimental. Hope this helps all though those are great cars, name is quite useless. Computer generated in the 80's for Honda. Asked to develop name with no more than 5 letters that would be easily used specifically in English.
