Citron Family History
Citron Name Meaning
Jewish (eastern Ashkenazic): artificial name from German Zitrone ‘lemon (tree)’; in some cases it may be a metonymic occupational name for a grower or seller of lemons. French: from Old French citron ‘lemon’ (from Latin citrus ‘lemon tree’) and so probably a nickname for a sharp and disagreeable person.
