The origin of the 7 Up name is unclear. One popular story is that its creator named the soft drink after seeing a cattle brand with the number 7 and the letter u. Other theories suggest that the name reflects the seven syllables in the drink's original name (Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime) or that the drink was formulated with seven flavors plus the carbonation (the bubbles go "up"). Other ideas include that the original bottle contained seven ounces, or that its creator came up with the name while playing dice, or that even it was the 7th large commercial lemonade brand that tasted the same. There is also the rumor that the name was created because the company had previously failed six times, hence the name "7-up". Before the formula change in 2006, looking on a can of 7up included 7 ingredients. The "Up" in the drink's name might refer to the original inclusion of Lithium, a mood stabiliser.
Some people mistakenly believe that the name 7 Up comes from the fact that its pH is 7.0 and therefore neutral. This is not the case: the pH of 7 Up is comparable to many other soft drinks. At a pH of 3.67 Diet 7 Up is less acidic than lemon juice (pH 2.3), vinegar (pH 2.9) or wine (pH 3.5).
However, the best possibility is that the drink is named after "Seven up", a card game

actually the name comes from the fact that the soda was in a 7oz(or 7 liter[i cant rember]) bottle and the up was the direction of the bubbles
