Citaat:

According to Professor Gary Yu (UCSB) and researchers for the once popular "Uncle John's Bathroom Reader" the name is derived from the atomic mass of Lithium, 7, which was originally one of the key ingredients of the drink (as lithium citrate).[1]

However, there are numerous myths explaining the name. Such as:

Its creator named the soft drink after winning at a casino with 3 rolls of 7 and the letter U.[2]
The drink was formulated with seven flavors plus the bubbles from the drink's carbonation (the bubbles go up).
The original bottle contained seven ounces; its creator came up with the name while playing dice
7Up was the 7th large commercial lemonade brand that tasted the same.
The name was created because the company had previously failed six times, hence the name "7 Up".[2]
Before the formula change in 2006, a can of 7 Up included seven ingredients.
The "Up" in the drink's name might refer to the original inclusion of lithium citrate, when it was marketed as a patent medicine to cure hangovers.
The name "7 Up" was a reference to the Esotericism concept of the Seven Planes, made famous by the internet series The Arrivals[3].
Some people mistakenly believe that the name 7 Up comes from the belief that its pH is 7.0 and therefore neutral. This is not the case at all: the pH of 7 Up is comparable to many other soft drinks. At a pH of 3.67,[4] Diet 7 Up is less acidic than lemon juice (pH 2.3), vinegar (pH 2.9) or wine (pH 3.5).[5]
