Concorde is French for 'agreement', and this was chosen to signify the agreement and co-operation between Britain and France in developing the plane.
The alliance between the French and British led to Concorde's construction. The name Concorde is from the French word Concorde, which is the English equivalent of Concord. It means agreement or union. It was at first referred to by UK as Concorde with the French spelling but was changed to Concord by Macmillan.
They named it that because of a treaty! How cool!
Concorde's name reflects the development agreement between the United Kingdom and France. In the UK, any or all of the type-unusual for an aircraft-are known simply as "Concorde", without an article. The aircraft is regarded by many people as an aviation icon and an engineering marvel.

Thats why it was named the Concorde.
They were allies in World War 2.

The Concorde is a really fast jet.

The English and the French built it together as a form of a treaty.
Concorde is called Concorde because when Britain and France were thinking of a name a civil servent's family thought of it.it means "agreement between persons, groups, nations,and harmony, goodwill,and friendship.At first it was spelt concord by the british,but the french wanted to call it Concorde.There was a bit of an argument and in the end it was Concorde.
