the color orange is named after the fruit, not the other way around. english had no word for this color until the fruit started being imported to britain from the middle east in the medieval ages

you can divide most european languages between those who got the word from spain and call it orange (from spanish "naranja"), those who got it from portugal and call it "bortugal" or "portakal") and those who called it "chinese apple" in their own language.
