Meaning and background
The story behind Krembo
Krembo has a documented Israeli confectionery association. The youth movement Krembo Wings explains its own name by reference to the individually wrapped Israeli treat krembo, using its careful wrapping as a symbol of attention to each child. The organisation's story is primary evidence for that particular naming association. It does not establish Krembo as a traditional personal name, and the symbolic explanation belongs to the organisation rather than every dog called Krembo.
