How did the Berlingo get it's name ?

[ffrenchie]

I see how it was appropriated from the Berlin carriage and the design hasn't changed that much either Good answer from wikipedia cancunia, I'm happy with that one thanks.

Berlingo is a village in northern Italy.

Citroen have a history of choosing random names for their cars (when they've used names). They named one after a musical instrument (Saxo), another after an artist (Picasso), another with a play on a girls name (Xara), none of them really made any sense.

Hi There,

According to some French friends Berlingo is the name of a French sweet.

In all likelihood it was just a name chosen by a committee on the grounds that it can be be used worldwide, it can pronounced in various languages, it doesn't mean anything embarrassing in any language, it doesn't sound too silly in any language etc.

I mean look at the names of some of the Japanese domestic cars, Mazda Bongo, Nissan Homy, Isuzu Bighorn...... They must sound fine in Japanese, but they're laughable in English.

If it was made for the German market surely it would be called the Parisgo or Moskvago?
