Etymology
The word 'lemon' originated from Old French 'limon', which in turn came from Arabic 'laymลซn' and Persian 'lฤซmลซ', referring to the citrus fruit. Lemons are believed to have been first grown in Assam, a region in northeast India, northern Burma, and China. They were introduced to the Mediterranean region around the 1st century AD. Lemons have since become a popular ingredient in cooking, baking, and beverages around the world.
