Real fact behind the name of Orange Fruit

Have you ever wondered whether the fruit orange was named after the color orange or was it the other way around? The word orange comes from the Spanish word ‘naranja’. ‘naranja’ is derived from the Sanskrit word nāraṅga which means ‘orange

tree’. This particular word changed when it came to the English language over time and became orange. Around the sixteenth century, this particular word not only referred to the fruit but also to the color. So there you have it, the color was named after the fruit itself.
