Etymology
The term 'rockmelon' originated from the word 'melon' which comes from the Latin word 'melopepo' meaning 'gourd apple'. The 'rock' part of the name may refer to the rough skin of the fruit. Rockmelons are believed to have originated in Persia and were later cultivated in Europe and America.
