Etymology

Main article: Orange (word)

The word orange has two origins:

• As the fruit, via Arabic nāranj from the Sanskrit nārangī. The color was named from the fruit.
• As the town of Orange, France; this name is probably Gaulish in origin. The House of Orange-Nassau originated from there (and from Nassau in Germany), and includes the royal family of the Netherlands, amongst whom William of Orange also ruled Britain.
