Yes and no...
I had to look this one up too.
Here's what I found..
The name in Old High German was 'stuotgarten', with 'stuot' meaning mare, later cognate with the Old English term 'stod' (Modern English: 'stud', relating to the breeding of horses). The Old High German term 'garten' referred to the compound on the site of the original settlement.
The logo of the Porsche automobile company features a modified version of Stuttgart's coat of arms at its centre.
Nice Ebay score BTW!!
