The vehicle was named after [[Alphard]],<ref name="TG">{{cite web |url=https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/data/automotive_business/products_technology/vehicle_lineage_chart/origin/index.html |title=75 Years of TOYOTA {{!}} Vehicle Lineage Chart {{!}} Data: Origin of a car's name |publisher=Toyota |year=2012}}</ref> the brightest [[star]] in the [[constellation]] [[Hydra (constellation)|Hydra]].

The name "Vellfire" was derived from "velvet" and "fire" to emphasize "smooth" and "passionate" as characteristics of the vehicle.<ref>{{Cite web |title=TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION GLOBAL WEBSITE {{!}} 75 Years of TOYOTA {{!}} Vehicle Lineage Chart {{!}} Data: Origin of a car's name |url=https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/data/automotive_business/products_technology/vehicle_lineage_chart/origin/index.html |access-date=2023-06-07 |website=www.toyota-global.com}}</ref> Starting from the AH30 generation, the Vellfire has been given aggressive styling to reflect being the sportier version of the Alphard. As of the AH40 generation, the Vellfire received its unique logo in the form of a stylized 'V' to further distinguish it from its twin.
