Etymology

The name Fortunella derives from the surname of the 19th-century Scottish botanist Robert Fortune, who introduced these small citrus fruits to the Western world. The genus Fortunella was formally established in the early 20th century. The history of kumquats goes back to ancient China, where they were cultivated for centuries as ornamental plants before being introduced to other parts of the world. They were valued not only for their fruit but also for their fragrant flowers and evergreen leaves. The widespread cultivation of Fortunella began after they were brought to Europe and America, where they became popular in gardens and as indoor plants. As a result of their small size and unique flavor, Fortunella fruits have gained a place in culinary traditions across various cultures, making them a cherished part of the citrus family.
