Confidence votes 421. Baldwin, Siegel, and Bowker chose the name Starbucks in honor of Starbuck, the coffee-loving first mate in Herman Melville's Moby Dick (so company legend has it), and because they thought the name evoked the romance of the high seas and the seafaring tradition of the early coffee traders.
