No, pumpkins are native of the Western Hemisphere.
I wonder about this. Seneca of ancient Rome wrote a satire translated as "Pumpkinification." Wouldn't he have had to know what pumpkins were long before anyone there would have known about the western hemisphere?
The answer to that is no. The word 'pumpkinification' was the invention of the translator. Some translations use the word 'gourdification'. You could call using the word 'pumpkin' in the translation as the ignorance of the translator and those who propagated the term.
