What is the English name of Starbucks?

Starbucks' English name is Starbucks, which was originally the name of a character in Mobidick, a famous novel written by American "tough guy writer" Melville in the19th century. Moby Dick described a thrilling story that happened on a whaling ship. The character is the first mate of the ship, with a strong personality but a strong sense of melancholy. His biggest hobby is drinking coffee, and the founder of Starbucks coffee shop is a literary lover. It is really good to take Starbucks as the store number!

In the Chinese translation of Mobidick, the name Starbucks is transliterated as Starbucks, but as the store number of a coffee shop, it is also translated as Starbucks-transliteration in the first half and transliteration in the second half. This translation, of course, is for business needs. Because the word "star" is quite poetic, it can give customers vivid associations. But through this Chinese translation, we can see the profound originality of its founder in choosing the name of the store-

Starbucks is a whole, but besides, Star is a "star", and buck is the homonym of the main monetary unit "Yuan" in American slang, just like Guangzhou people call 1 Yuan "Wen Yi Chicken". So the store number actually implies the meaning of "our consumption is low". No wonder Ms. Zhou Ying, who knows Guangzhou life well, said with emotion that "even a poor new immigrant like me can enjoy it freely".
