Hello. I can't agree with you here. Thus is an adverb and is used while introducing a point of view which is direct consequence of what has just been indicated before.
I gave him my car, thus he stopped bickering about how he wanted to learn driving.
Susan has passed a very hard exam, thus she is a qualified specialist now.
There are also some mea

Hello,
I found several examples of this phrase on the net, so I suppose it must be correct.
- It seemed so logical to run the names together, thus the name EQ-Wine!
- These logs were floated to a nearby mill and eventually made into shingles for their homes, thus the name Shingle Creek.
- the father of the child was drinking Yaqo

Hi
An example from bbc.co.uk
Mid Wales Knighton - Knighton Town Forum
Much of the timber for his fleet came from West Radnorshire and he stayed in Ludlow so there was the possibility that he came through Knighton, thus the name Nelson Square at the top of the town.
