The eggplant (also called an aubergine) got its name back in 18th century Europe from the farmers who grew them, because some varieties of eggplant actually look like off-white/yellowish goose eggs. The elongated deep purple eggplant is the most common seen in the United States, but Thai eggplants for instance are the same shape, size, and relative color as goose or hen eggs.
The original aubergine was quite small, white and looked like an egg. Plant breeding over the centuries has produced aubergines which are much larger and in a variety of colours, plum purple , white, white speckled/striped with purple and so on.
The fruit of the eggplant is technically a berry in botanical classification.
