Pomelo Origin and Meaning

The name Pomelo is a girl's name meaning "citrus fruit".

Clementine, Peaches, Cherry, and Pepper (and more occasionally, Apple) are all in use for girls, while the name of the largest citrus fruit, Pomelo, might be a more unisex option if you want something both rare and from the fruit bowl.

The name pomelo is Dutch, however its origins are obscure. Theories suggest it could be borrowed from Portuguese and simply mean "citrus fruit", while others believe it could mean "swollen citrus" or "pumpkin citrus" in reference to its size.
