I believe these names are assigned to specific optical constructions.
I know more or less the difference in their aperture ranges and I keep thinking this is the reason for those, but there must be a proper explanation of those, right?

Color Skopar
Ultron
Lanthar
Heliar
Nokton

Like leica the names have evolved to relate primarily to the fastest aperture of a lens, not the optical formulas.
