Zitron

Zitron may refer to several topics, most commonly as a proper noun or brand form. In standard German, the citrus fruit is spelled Zitrone; Zitron without the final e is not the conventional spelling for the fruit. The form Zitron can appear in corporate names, trademarks, or personal surnames, where it is treated as a proper noun rather than a common noun.

As a surname, Zitron is found in German-speaking communities and among descendants of those communities. It is one of many Germanic surnames that survive in various countries today. The exact origin of the surname can vary and may reflect historical nicknames, occupations, or toponymic roots, depending on family history.

In branding and commerce, Zitron is used by various firms or products, often to evoke freshness or a citrus-related association. The usage is independent of standard language spelling and can appear across different industries, including manufacturing, design, and consumer goods. As a brand name, Zitron is typically chosen for its concise, memorable sound rather than for a direct reference to the fruit.
