Common Mistakes and Alternative Spellings
The standard and correct spelling is Kuehne + Nagel, which includes an umlaut over the 'u' in "Kuehne" and a plus sign (+) between the two surnames. A common alternative is to write the umlaut as "ue," rendering it as Kuehne + Nagel; this is widely accepted, especially in international contexts where the character 'ü' may not be readily available. Frequent misspellings and typos include omitting the umlaut or diacritical mark entirely ("Kuehne"), replacing the plus sign with an ampersand ("Kuehne & Nagel"), misspelling the second name ("Nagel" as "Nagle" or "Nagal"), or running the names together ("KuehneNagel"). In searches, it is also sometimes incorrectly referenced as "Kuehne and Nagel" using the spelled-out conjunction.
