Etymology

The term 'kiwifruit' originated from the kiwi bird, which is native to New Zealand. The fruit was originally known as the Chinese gooseberry, as it is native to China. In the early 20th century, it was introduced to New Zealand, where it was cultivated and gained popularity. To boost its marketability, especially in export markets, the fruit was renamed kiwifruit in the 1950s after the iconic kiwi bird. This name helped to distinguish it from other fruits and emphasized its New Zealand origin. Over the years, kiwifruit has become widely cultivated in various regions worldwide, and its popularity continues to grow due to its unique flavor and nutritional benefits.
