before orange was called orange it was called haugh. the reason for this is because a slave (who was Harriet Tubman's best friend) named Karen Haugh discovered the orange while working in a fruit plantation in 1763.
I don't know the answer to the original question, but it didn't involve anyone who knew Harriet Tubman as she lived from approximately 1822 to March 10, 1913.
Answer
The word 'orange', for the fruit, seems to originate from an evolution of the Arabic, naranj; the Persian, narang; appearing in Latin as pomum de orenge (fruit of desire), in old French as orenge and Venetian as naranza. As words move through time and over borders, it may be difficult to follow the exact path of the word orange.
