Yes, the grapefruit (Citrus x paradisi) has other common names.Specifically, the grapefruit first was known as forbidden fruit of the Caribbean.

These latter names relate to its similarity to the pomelo (Citrus medica), which was introduced into the Caribbean by eighteenth-century sea Captain Shaddock.
