Meaning and background
The story behind Orangina
Orangina is the name of a citrus soft drink rather than an inherited given name. Its orange-fruit flavour and orange-pulp content are part of the brand's long-running identity. That real product history is sufficient background: a claim that the word is an ancient term for sunshine or happiness would be made up. It makes a playful, longer companion to Orange while retaining its commercial origin.
