Etymology[]
The start of its name, (ゾーリン, Zōrin?), derives from "Solingen" (ゾーリンゲン, Zōringen?). Solingen, also known as the "City of Blades", is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It has long been renowned for the manufacturing of fine swords, knives, scissors and razors.
"Zwill" might be based on Zwilling, the German word for twin. It may also be based on the name of the company Zwilling J. A. Henckels, a knife manufacturer based in Solingen.
