They're usually sold as kiwi fruit. They come from New Zealand where the kiwi is both an iconic bird and the the nickname for people from that country. It's also considered to sound more appetizing than "gooseberry."

'Litchi', 'lichu', and 'laichi' are other common names for lychee [Litchi chinensis]. The name refers to the tree and to the woody plant's fragrant, sweet fruit. Although native to China, this evergreen is adaptable to many non-native environments worldwide.
