Edit:

Truth you are correct

Theories of the etymology of the Lexus name have suggested it is the combination of the words "luxury" and "elegance",[26] and that it is an acronym for "luxury exports to the U.S."[26]According to Team One interviews, the brand name has no specific meaning and simply evokes a luxurious and technological image.[24]

I was only agreeing with Truth that the word Lexus didn't mean Luxury Exports to the United States.
