Best Answer

The color orange was actually named after the fruit.

The fruit word orange came to us from Medieval Latin, pomum de orenge. It has older roots in Arabic, Persian and its origin is unknown. The word orange-orenge was in use in France in the 1300s to refer to the fruit and the word migrated to Middle English. Orange was not used as a color word until the 1540s.
