An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Pomeranze

by Friedrich Kluge

Pomeranze, f., ‘orange,’ adopted in the 15th cent. from the equiv. MidLat. pomarancia, a compound of Ital. pomo, ‘apple,’ and arancia, ‘orange’; the latter word and Fr. orange are usually derived from Arab. nâranǵ, Pers. nârenġ, and further from Sans. nâranga, ‘orange.’
