The name "kumquat" is derived from the Cantonese term "gam gwat," which translates to "golden orange." This reflects the fruit's small size and bright orange color, resembling that of an orange. The kumquat is native to Southeast Asia and was introduced to the Western world in the 19th century, where it gained popularity for its unique sweet skin and tart flesh.
