English of kiwifruit

origin

Singularity is a transliteration of English kiwi. The main exporter of kiwifruit: New Zealand. Before western countries immigrated to New Zealand, there lived a group of indigenous people named Maori. The kiwi comes from Maori, which means a bird unique to New Zealand. The Chinese name is kiwi, which later became the national symbol of New Zealand. Kiwi then has another meaning-New Zealanders.

Kiwifruit, in fact, the origin of Kiwifruit is not New Zealand, but China. It is said that a New Zealand lady brought the seeds of kiwifruit from China back to the motherland for cultivation, thus developing kiwifruit. At that time, New Zealanders called this new fruit China gooseberry (China gooseberry).

In 1960s and 1970s, kiwifruit began to be exported to America. At that time, the United States and China were at war (during the Cold War). Americans don't want to give this fruit the name of China, so they try to change their name. Because the producer is kiwifruit, kiwifruit was born.
