Motown is a two-syllable reduction of the term "Motor City". It is a reference to Detroit, and is an affectionate, and music industry, term, not an official one.

Tamla Motown was the name used to market Motown Records' music in the United Kingdom during the 1960s. It combined the Tamla label, which was one of the original labels of Motown, with the Motown brand to promote its artists and recordings across the Atlantic. This branding helped popularize Motown's distinctive sound and artists, such as The Supremes and Marvin Gaye, in the UK and beyond, contributing significantly to the global reach of the Motown label.
