The cranberry was named after the sand hill crane due to the flower's resemblance to the crane's head and bill. Early European settlers observed that the blossoms of the cranberry plant looked similar to the cranes, which were often found in the same wetlands where cranberries grew. The term "cranberry" is believed to be derived from "crane berry," reflecting this visual connection.
