  • "Le Puy" is a city in the region of Auvergne, France.
  • "Quina" is the name of a digestive drink containing "quinquina", i.e. cinchona bark or quina, as its bitter ingredient.
  • "Maurin" is the last name of "Auguste Maurin" who invented Quina in 1884. It is a common last name in the region or France. My mother was born a Maurin.

    The brand died long ago but was recently revived.

The "Maurin Quina" label indicates an americanized or globalized intent for the new product, as traditional French spelling would rather be "Quina Maurin".
