You're not wrong actually!
Andre's parents, or grand parents or something were fruit sellers, back in the day when second names weren't common place, so they chose Citron as a name, only added the ë to sound a bit posher I guess, so they became Citroën, and Andre being not at all self important named his company after himself!
