Natives in the Americas referred to pumpkins as "gourd" or "courge." The word "pumpkin" is derived from the Native American word "pepon," which means "large melon." Pumpkins were an important food source for various Indigenous cultures, and they were used in a variety of dishes long before European settlers arrived.
