The name is taken from the kiwi birds native to New Zealand, one of the places where kiwifruit are grown. The name also suggests an appearance similar to those birds. The other name for the brown, furry, egg-shaped fruit is "Chinese gooseberry". This was not as popular in marketing but does correctly identify China as another of the Southeast Asia locations where they are grown.
The kiwifruit became a popular fruit in NZ in the 1950s. The plant is native to China, and the variety that eventually was developed most successfully was the Hayward.
It is a green colour, though golden and red varieties have now been developed. When first introduced, it was known as 'Chinese gooseberry' because of the shape and number of seeds. Subsequent marketing campaigns changed the name to 'Kiwifruit'.
The kiwifruit was so named because of its perceived likeness to the small flightless bird, the kiwi. Kiwifruit are small and oval in shape, with brown, furry skin.

The Kiwifruit grows very well in Aotearoa (NZ), particularly in the Bay of Plenty region. We produce many millions of kiwifruits here every year. The Kiwi is a flightless bird, the national bird of Aotearoa (NZ), which is what the kiwifruit was originally named after.
