Yes, the grapefruit (Citrus x paradisi) has other common names.

Specifically, the grapefruit first was known as forbidden fruit of the Caribbean. It also was called shaddock, little shaddock and smaller shaddock. These latter names relate to its similarity to the pomelo (Citrus medica), which was introduced into the Caribbean by eighteenth-century sea Captain Shaddock. The grapefruit was considered to be a spontaneous sport of the pomelo. It was only in the twentieth century that it was recognized as the accidental hybrid of the pomelo and the sweet orange (Citrus x sinensis).
